Tinubu appoints Jim Ovia as chairman of education loan fund

 President Bola Tinubu has appointed Jim Ovia as the chairman
of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, announced the
appointment of Ovia, chairman of Zenith Bank, in a statement on Friday.

Ngelale said Tinubu believes that Ovia will bring his
immense wealth of experience to ensure that no Nigerian student suffers a
paucity of funds in the quest for tertiary education.

On April 3, Tinubu signed the student loans amendment bill
into law to provide Nigerians with quality and accessible education.

The law will allow Nigerian students in tertiary
institutions to access low-interest loans for tuition and other academic needs.
