Tinubu’s policies improving student welfare, says NANS

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has praised President Bola Tinubu's administration for policies that are reportedly improving student welfare, as stated by NANS President Akinteye Afeez. During a meeting with representatives of the APC Youth Network West Africa, Afeez highlighted several developments such as the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), improved electricity supply on university campuses, and a reduction in prolonged industrial actions.

These improvements, according to Afeez, are positively affecting students' academic experiences. He emphasized that students are closely monitoring government policies and their consequences for their education and welfare, irrespective of their political affiliations. Afeez also expressed support for the Tinubu administration and plans to mobilize students in its favor ahead of the 2027 presidential election, with a target of 10 million votes.

The meeting aimed to explore partnerships for improving student welfare, strengthening leadership development, and increasing youth participation in national affairs.
