President Bola Tinubu had written
to the Senate and the House of Representatives, seeking the repeal of the Student Loan (Access to Higher Education) Bill and the enactment of a new one.

He also had announced a temporary suspension of the commencement of the student loan scheme.

The new Act will enhance the implementation of the Higher Education Student Loan Scheme.

It will address challenges related to the management structure of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELF), applicant eligibility requirements, loan purpose, funding sources, disbursement, and repayment procedures.

The law also aims to allow Nigerian students in tertiary institutions to access low-interest loans to complete their studies.
