“We shall phase out the fuel subsidy yet maintain the underlying social contract between government and the people."
While speaking at the British Royal Institute in London, United Kingdom, Tinubu said his administration will grant loans to students.
“There will be student loans for all. We are going to reform the Almajiri system, we are equally going to build more schools, recruit more teachers and train them.”
