Workers Solidarity Group, WYSN Rejects Students Loan Act, Demands Academic Grants, Payment Of ASUU’s Salaries BacklogThe group on Saturday in a statement signed by its Secretary, Damilola Owot, said the Students Loan Act would further increase the burden on poor Nigerians, adding that it rather stands in solidarity with millions of Nigerian students in demanding for academic grants, not loans.
Owot stated that “The Workers' and Youths Solidarity Network categorically rejects the bill sponsored by Femi Gbajabiamila and signed by President Bola Tinubu regarding the students' loan policy. “Therefore, we believe that the government should scrap tuition fees and provide academic grants instead, if it is interested in promoting higher education for all.”
“How can he/she repay this amount if jobs are scarce and badly paid? The student loan will be a burden for many people, that can lead them in another debt trap. “This should include, but not be limited to, granting academic scholarships and subsidies to students instead of loans, completely abolishing fees in tertiary institutions, promptly paying the backlog of salaries owed to ASUU members, reviewing and implementing living wages for academic workers, democratizing public education, and ensuring proper funding.
