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.

In a statement signed by Dr. Elvis Otobo, Dr. Adebogun listed the new Student Loan scheme as a transformative step towards ensuring sustainable higher education and skill development for Nigerian students.
The bill, which was signed into law by President Tinubu, is expected to provide a much-needed financial lifeline to students, enabling them to pursue their academic dreams without the burden of immediate financial constraints.
Dr. Adebogun praised the new retirement age for judges in the judicial sector, which is now 70 years. The bill, titled “Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (fifth altercation), (No. 37) bill, 2023,” was the first to be assented to by President Tinubu.
Dr. Adebogun echoed that harmonizing the retirement age of judges is a move to maintain experienced legal minds within the judicial system, which would result in quality and timely delivery of judgments.
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.
The Kaduna State Police Command has revealed the identity of the man who caused panic after charging towards President Bola Tinubu during his visit to the state.
According to the police, the suspect has been identified as Umar Mohammed, a resident of Anguwan Muazu in Kaduna.
The incident happened during the commissioning of a 300-bed specialist hospital in Millennium City.
As President Tinubu was addressing the audience, Mohammed suddenly broke through the crowd and rushed toward him, triggering a swift response from security operatives.
The moment left Tinubu visibly shocked, as seen in a widely shared video showing his startled reaction and the confusion among his security team.
Police later disclosed that the man has a mental health condition he has lived with since birth.
They described his actions as unplanned and driven by excitement, adding that he was unarmed and posed no real threat after being restrained.
Despite the scare, the event continued as planned.
Governor Uba Sani led the inauguration of the hospital, which is expected to boost healthcare access in Kaduna.
