The National Association of Nigerian Students has called on President Bola Tinubu to order a full-scale probe and publish the names of all 51 institutions indicted in the alleged diversion of funds from the Nigeria Education Loan Fund.
The students, who protested the alleged diversion, demanded accountability from both public institutions and financial agencies involved in the scheme.
The students said their confidence in the programme was severely shaken following reports that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission had commenced a probe into the loan disbursement process.
They said the ICPC spokesperson, Demola Bakare, had said preliminary findings indicated that 51 tertiary institutions had made unauthorised deductions ranging from three thousand, five hundred naira to thirty thousand naira from institutional fees covered by NELFUND loans.
