Edo State Deputy Governor, Dennis Idahosa, on Friday has urged the citizens of the state to take advantage of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund to pursue higher education irrespective of their background.

He described the policy as noble and said President Bola Tinubu has demonstrated not only his passion to see the youths succeeds, but that parents financial status should determine the dream of the students.

In a statement on Friday by the Chief Press Secretary to the deputy governor, Friday Aghedo, Idahosa made the remarks when he played host to the Managing Director and other management staff of the NELFUND in Benin on Thursday.

Idahosa said Edo State government would collaborate with relevant agencies to drive the process in mobilizing and sensitizing all students who are bonafide indigenes of the state and qualified for the loan to embrace the concept to realize their dreams of pursuing their educational ambition to the highest levels.
