Fuel Price Hike: NANS wants students’ loan raised from N20k to N40k

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has called for an increase in student loans from N20,000 to N40,000.

NANS Senate President, Babatunde Akinteye, who disclosed this during a news conference on the state of the nation in Abuja on Monday, said the call followed the hike in the price of fuel.

According to him, the adjustment was necessary to help students cope with the rising cost of living while ensuring that they continue to pursue their education without undue financial strain.

He also urged the Federal Government to reduce excessive government spending, saying that at a time when Nigerians were being asked to make sacrifices, it was only fair that those in power led by example.

He called for calm, noting that the reforms by President Bola Tinubu would yield favourable outcomes.

“We find ourselves at a pivotal juncture in our nation’s history, where the weight of economic reforms has cast a shadow of discomfort, hunger and despair across our land
