“The N35 billion cuts across all the 124 federal institutions that we have rolled out so far. But we are still getting applications from students from federal institutions before we roll out the state institutions. “While the state institutions will be rolled out, we will still be accepting applications from federal institutions. Applications will be on 24/7 because the calendar of each school is not the same. The funds would be disbursed soon,” the source said.
