Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has promised to review the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, scheme and forgive the debts of qualifying students if elected.
Atiku’s position was disclosed by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu.
Shaibu said Atiku does not believe Nigerian students should be forced to begin their working lives burdened by heavy education debts.
He said the proposed review would seek to address concerns surrounding the student loan scheme and provide relief for eligible beneficiaries.
