The Presidency, on Wednesday, said it will announce a later date for the commencement of the student loan scheme.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this when he briefed State House correspondents after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
“There will be a new date to launch the student loan scheme. It’s not forgotten,” Onanuga said.
Onanuga was responding to the postponement of the planned launch of the Fund, which was initially scheduled for Thursday, March 14, explaining that the programme had not been forgotten.
Giving reasons for the delay, he said, “There are some things that need to be rearranged so that it can be launched properly. That’s what’s happening.
“So the President is committed to it. You know it’s one of his flagship programmes and he wants to get it done as quickly as possible.”
