A member of the House of Representatives representing Ido/Ibarapa East Federal Constituency in Oyo State, Remi Oseni, has hailed President Bola Tinubu’s student loan scheme as “a pathway to liberation” for millions of young Nigerians seeking access to quality education and a better future.
Speaking at an endorsement rally for President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and his re-election bid in 2027, held at Apata in the Ido Local Government Area of the state on Saturday, Oseni emphasized that the scheme would help bridge the gap between the rich and the poor, enabling children from humble backgrounds to access higher education and pursue their dreams without being crippled by economic hardship.
Oseni said, “I became who I am today because I benefited from free education. That is why I am deeply moved by Tinubu’s student loan scheme. It is one of the most visionary policies of this administration, a gateway to freedom for any Nigerian youth who desires to but is limited by finances.
The lawmaker commended Tinubu for prioritizing human capital development despite the nation’s economic challenges, describing the initiative as a legacy policy that would shape Nigeria’s future.
“The scheme is not just an education policy; it is a social reformation strategy,” Oseni said.
“It is about ensuring that no Nigerian child is denied the chance to learn because of their financial background.”
Oseni emphasized that the ROCOF movement, which he founded, is committed to empowering artisans, traders, women, and youth across the state.
“Our goal is to liberate our people not through violence or propaganda, but through empowerment, education, and economic opportunities,” he said.
“We are not just talking about occupying offices; we are talking about transforming lives.”
Oseni dispelled rumors linking him to a governorship ambition, stressing that his current priority is the success of Tinubu’s administration and the victory of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State in 2027.
“For me, this is not about personal ambition,” he said. “My immediate goal is to deliver one million votes for Tinubu in 2027 and to return APC to Agodi Government House.”
