The union, therefore, asked Tinubu to change the newly assented Students Loans Act to grants for poor students. He said: “This would have been better if we are giving it to those set of students who are very poor, it should be called a grant, not a loan. “In 1994, 1993, the military enacted Decree 50 also set up a Students’ Loan Board. The National Assembly domesticated it in 2004 and within a year, it went off. The money disappeared. We want to see how this one will be different,” Osodeke added.He said more than 90% of students would not meet the requirements to access the loan.
