Following the recent signing and approval of the student loan bill by the Federal Government, the Founder of Caleb Group of Schools and CEO of Caleb University, Dr. Oladega Adebogun, has commended President Bola Tinubu, for his numerous achievements since assuming office as the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Dr. Adebogun also commended the economic reforms initiated by President Tinubu.
He said: “These reforms, which aim to set Nigeria on a path of accelerated economic growth with a focus on productivity and ease of doing business, have already shown early signs of impressive growth, with the Minister of Finance reporting a significant increase in foreign direct investment and a boost in job creation.
“Similarly, the improvement in statutory allocations impacted positively on Federal, State, and all Local Governments in the country. which provides them with more resources to address challenges and development projects are worthy of commendation,” he said.
The global scholar equally noted Nigeria’s prominent international status and the strengthening of the Naira pointing out that “the country’s efforts in various sectors have improved its standing on the global stage and contributed to the strengthening of the Naira against the dollar and other major currencies.
Dr. Adebogun’s recognition of these achievements underscores the positive impact of President Tinubu’s policies, especially on the educational landscape and on the broader socio-economic development of Nigeria.
