Tinubu Calls for Community Feedback on Local Issues

President Bola Tinubu challenged Nigerians to report issues in their communities that require government intervention, promising to address these problems. He emphasized the importance of education in his administration's economic reforms, stating that the journey from reform to prosperity begins with educational access.

Tinubu highlighted the NELFUND initiative, which has provided over N372 billion in student loans to support young Nigerians' education. He shared personal experiences from his time in the United States, where he worked various jobs to fund his education.

The president noted that his administration has rehabilitated 38 technical colleges, attracted over 2.8 million applications for vocational education, and increased medical school investments. He also mentioned a new agreement with ASUU that includes a 40% increase in academic staff remuneration.

Tinubu's administration has successfully returned over one million out-of-school children to education and is focused on expanding educational opportunities for girls.
