President Emmanuel Osodeke emphasized the burden of loan repayments on uncertain post-graduation employment and advocated for directing these funds towards supporting students from economically challenged backgrounds.
ASUU questioned the practicality and fairness of the loan conditions, expressing skepticism based on past failed initiatives. They propose a shift towards grants to aid the education of underprivileged students and alleviate potential future financial burdens.
