This student loan stuff is a way for this govt to boost APC register for 2027 election. At this time in the life of this country, they will only use that fund to waste. We should be thinking of production at this point in time not throwing money to waste.

@AkintSawyerr It's important that you step in to address this matter @NELFUND @AkintSawyerr. I and some students that applied for the loan are yet to be approved, and now it's getting late. This is a memo we received from this morning, it's probably from @ibadanuni management. What do we do?

The Student Loan Act says two years after NYSC, you are obliged to start looking for a means of repaying the loan. It doesn't state that you must pay the loan two years after NYSC. It states that you can start repaying the loan if you are earning. - Akintunde Sawyerr, Exec. Sec., Nigerian Education Trust Fund #PoliticsToday #ChannelsTVNews

Yesterday, I had the privilege of delivering the Annual Public Lecture at Osun State University, Osogbo on the invitation of the institution’s leadership. The lecture titled “Interrogating the Funding of Education: Global Versus Nigerian Perspectives.” A topic that could not have come at a better time as we try to fix our tertiary education system I underscored a central truth that though education in my opinion is a fundamental human right and not a privilege , it can also be very expensive. In Nigeria, where over 1.9 million young people apply to universities annually and more than 130 public universities operate across the federation, the old funding model is no longer sustainable. That is why, during my time as Speaker of the House of Representatives, I sponsored and led the passage of the Interest-free Students Loan (Access to Higher Education) Act 2023, a transformative piece of legislation aimed at ensuring that no capable Nigerian youth is denied a university education solely because they cannot afford fees. And in one of his earliest acts as President, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu a strong believer in education signed that bill into law, affirming the President’s commitment to access, equity, and opportunity to all Nigerians. Together, we laid the legislative and executive foundations for what has become a new era of inclusive tertiary education in Nigeria. In my address, I also encouraged our universities to take learn from global institutions that have successfully diversified their income through commercial ventures, research commercialization, and international student enrolment. Institutions like Harvard, Oxford, and MIT don’t just educate, they innovate, compete, and generate revenue through publishing, patents, and partnerships. Nigeria can do the same if we reimagine our public universities not as charitable institutions but as engines of development. But we must also confront the deep structural issues: unethical practices, lack of global competitiveness, outdated teaching methods, and poor infrastructure. Reforming higher education is not just about money it’s about standards, partnerships, and courage. Let us build universities that can compete globally, inspire students, and contribute economically. Let us through qualitative education erect ladders of opportunity for the younger generation.

GIH Borrower, LLC. Delaware. Formed Aug 12, 2024. Three and a half months later it borrowed $1.175B. First lien, cov-lite, SOFR+250, due Nov 2031. Underneath it sits Guggenheim's $367B asset management business. Fri Aug 14: it told lenders Q2 revenue fell 38% to $186M, earnings down 77%. Mon Aug 17: the loan fell ~20 points to below 80 on broker runs. Sammons bonds hit all-time lows. Wed Aug 19: Guggenheim Investments president Dina DiLorenzo told lenders the drop excluded advisory fees from Guggenheim Private Investments that will be booked in Q3. So it's a revenue-recognition timing question. And per Crain's, the accounting at that same unit was the subject of the whistleblower report that helped start the federal probe. Three SEC-filed fund valuations had this loan at par as recently as June 30. Steele Creek 100.0, Franklin 100.375, Morgan Stanley 100.29.

In Chapter 10 of my memoir, THE EDUCATION OF A SENATOR: FROM JFK TO TRUMP, I tell about watching President Lyndon B. Johnson disappear into the back room Capitol office of Republican Minority Leader Sen. Everett M. Dirksen while they wrote the Civil Rights Bill of 1968. This taught me a lesson about the “reasoning together,” as LBJ called it, that it usually takes to pass an important law. LBJ had told his vice president, Hubert H. Humphrey, “The bill can’t pass unless you get Ev Dirksen. You and I are going to get Ev. He’s got to look good all the time.” Johnson was not the only president who practiced “reasoning together." On the Nixon staff, I wrote memos for the president’s bipartisan meetings with congressional leaders. Democratic House Speaker Tip O’ Neill called Ronald Reagan the “worst president,” but they worked together. So did Sen. Trent Lott and President Bill Clinton, even while Lott was trying to convict Clinton in an impeachment trial. These lessons served me well as governor when I had to work with a Democratic legislature. In the Senate, it took a while for me to be able to work with President Obama. In his first six years, Obama achieved few bipartisan results. But later we worked together to lower student loan interest rates and on education and medical innovation laws that Obama called “Christmas miracles,” and the Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell called them the most important laws of that session of Congress. In THE EDUCATION OF A SENATOR: FROM JFK TO TRUMP, I paint portraits of the presidents I worked with, tell stories about what I saw behind the scenes, and recount the lessons I learned about American politics and our country’s future. THE EDUCATION OF A SENATOR: FROM JFK TO TRUMP is out now from Post Hill Press. You can order here:
