MAPOLY Students Begin Receiving Student Loan Payments
Students at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) in Abeokuta have begun receiving credit alerts for the student loans they applied for, according to the institution’s Rector, Dr. Adeoye Odedeji.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the newly-elected Students Union Government (SUG) members on Friday in Abeokuta, Dr. Odedeji confirmed that several students had already received the funds in their bank accounts.
The Rector expressed satisfaction with the swift disbursement of the loans, noting that it would significantly ease the financial burden on many students and enable them to focus more on their studies.
He commended both the students and the administration for their cooperation in ensuring a smooth application process.
Dr. Odedeji further highlighted the importance of the student loan program in promoting access to higher education, especially for those facing financial difficulties.
He encouraged students who had not yet applied for the loans to take advantage of the opportunity, emphasizing that the initiative is designed to support their academic journey and future success.
The event also marked the official swearing-in of the new SUG leaders, where Dr. Odedeji called on them to be proactive in representing the student body and working collaboratively with the institution’s management to foster a positive and productive campus environment.
Nigerian fintech company OPay has introduced new security features to improve the safety of its application.
The company unveiled the Emergency Lock and Safety PIN features to give customers better control over their funds and provide added protection against fraud and unauthorized transactions.
The Emergency Lock feature allows customers to instantly freeze their OPay account with a single tap whenever they sense a threat or believe their account may be at risk.
The newly launched Safety PIN introduces an additional layer of security, helping customers protect themselves in situations where they may be forced to make a transfer or payment against their will.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has spoken on the agriculture sector of the country and shared that, in its current state, it needs more capital as it cannot stand alone without it.
They stated that even more capital will be needed in order to transform the agricultural sector and improve food production in Nigeria.
“Relying solely on public capital will not suffice to finance the transformation of Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Similarly, private capital will not be mobilised at the necessary scale unless the associated risks are comprehensively understood, appropriately allocated, and effectively managed.”
It has been noted that there is now an increase in fuel all around Nigeria, from … to 1000 plus in fuel stations.
It was also noted that Dangote Petroleum Refinery increased the price to 1,175 per litre and diesel has been increased to 1,620 per litre.
This new spike in fuel increase has caused Nigerians to lament widely, wondering why this change happened all of a sudden.
