Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has assured students of the Lagos State University (LASU) that they will benefit from the Federal Government's students' loan scheme.
Speaking at the university's 27th Convocation and 40th Anniversary, Sanwo-Olu also rewarded the overall best student, Olaniyi Olawale, with a sum of N10 million.
The governor emphasized the Lagos State Government's commitment to empowering students in state-owned tertiary institutions to unlock their full potential.
He stated that the government will foster a generation of innovative thinkers, problem-solvers, and great leaders who will drive sustainable development in Lagos State and beyond.
Sanwo-Olu also announced that the Lagos State Government will work with the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) to ensure that the new national student loan program opens up to students of state-owned educational institutions in Nigeria, as promised, and without delay.
He assured that the government will ensure that students of LASU fully benefit from this laudable policy and will not relent in efforts to ensure that no member-student or staff of the university community is left behind.
