Tinubu Meets Jim Ovia to Discuss NELFUND Progress
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hosted Jim Ovia, the chairman of NELFUND, at Aso Rock. The meeting's purpose remains unconfirmed, but it may relate to consolidating the achievements of NELFUND.
Jim Ovia has chaired the NELFUND board since his appointment by President Tinubu on April 26, 2024. This appointment occurred shortly after the signing of the Access to Higher Education Act (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Act, which established an interest-free student-loan scheme.
NELFUND has successfully provided millions of Nigerian students with interest-free loans for their tertiary education across the country. Additionally, President Tinubu met separately with Tanimu Kurfi, the Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation, although the details of this meeting were not disclosed.
