On 31st July, 2024 Mr. Sunday Asefon, the Senior Special Adviser on Student Engagement to the President of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu while speaking during a town hall meeting on the proposed nationwide protests against the administration of the President of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the current economic hardship and scarcity of food facing the country, revealed that no president had achieved what President Tinubu had done in one year because he had made student loans a reality, resolved the long-standing issue between the Federal Government and lecturers.
According to Vanguard, Mr. Sunday Asefon, the Senior Special Adviser on Student Engagement to the President of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu said “They are used to a system where ministers are appointed based on age, but President Tinubu has come to change that. He has brought in young people and introduced policies that are not in line with their interests. No president has achieved what President Tinubu has done in one year. He has made student loans a reality, resolved the long-standing issue between the federal government and lecturers, and introduced policies that benefit young people. I have failed because I couldn’t go to campuses to tell them what our president has been achieving since one year in office. But I’m sure that is the Nigeria many of us have dreamed of.”
On the other hand, Mohammed Isa, the Senior Special Assistant on Special Needs and Equal Opportunities to the President of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said that the proposed nationwide protests was being masterminded by political opponents who were seeking to seize power through the backdoor. He also added that without any equivocation, the over thirty-five million People With Disabilities (PWDs) in the country remained united and stood strong by the administration of the President of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu….Seë _ Morë
