  "account": "The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council reported that President Bola Tinubu's administration has disbursed N372.62 billion in student loans and trained 156,446 beneficiaries under the Technical and Vocational Education and Training programme. These reforms have improved access to basic education, enhanced teachers' welfare, and stabilized the academic calendar in tertiary institutions nationwide. As the 2027 presidential election looms, opposition parties have criticized the administration's education reforms, while others question their impact on Nigerians. The APC PCC highlighted various initiatives, including free technical education, rehabilitation of technical colleges, and increased nursing enrolment, which have brought over a million out-of-school children back into classrooms and trained 1,400 Tsangaya teachers.",
