The director of the Government College of Innovation, Minna part of the Scholastic Staff Association of Colleges (ASUU), Prof Gbolahan Bolarin has reprimanded the understudies advance bill endorsed into regulation on Monday by President Bola Tinubu.
Prof Gbolahan said that the law isn't doable as the characteristics of Nigeria were not considered prior to marking the bill into regulation.
He went on to say that the issue with such initiatives and Nigeria is that the leadership wants to imitate what they see in other countries without taking into account what is available in Nigeria.
Due to the high unemployment rate among graduates and the appalling minimum wage, he lamented that it may be challenging for students who obtain loans to repay them.
Prof. Bolarin made it clear that ASUU opposed the bill from the beginning because the plan cannot be implemented or sustained, making it "dead on arrival."
He stated,
"The issue in Nigeria is that we duplicate approaches from different nations and need to repeat them in our country disregarding the circumstance here.
In Nigeria, where are the jobs? There are graduates who have been unemployed for more than two decades. The problem with this plan is that as you pay back the loan, another person gets access to it.
