“In the area of human capital development, the Nigerian Students Loan Fund has disbursed N2.5 billion to over 22,120 beneficiaries across higher institutions in the nation. This is a welcome relief for parents and an opportunity for indigent students to access education.”

Regarding insecurity, Akume said, “Insecurity in different parts of the country has been a recurring challenge for successive governments since 1999.

“This administration has succeeded in elevating the human and institutional capacity of the armed services and other security agencies to tackle these challenges of insurgency, banditry, and other criminal activities,’he added.
