This initiative will ease the daily commuting burden on parents and guardians.

Additionally, President Tinubu has directed the removal of all restrictions on students’ loans, ensuring access for any student or household in need. His commitment to education remains unwavering, as he aims to prevent financial constraints from hindering educational pursuits.

Furthermore, the President emphasized that Federal Institutions of higher learning must avoid arbitrary increases in sundry fees to minimize difficulties for parents and students.
