President (Asíwájú) Bọ́lá Ahmed Tinúbú–GCFR has extended palliative support to Student Union Government (SUG) Presidents across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory
The distribution of rice, facilitated by the Special Adviser on Students Engagement, Asefon Sunday, took place in Abuja.
During the event, Asefon explained that the initiative was part of the President’s ongoing efforts to support students and their communities. He recalled a similar gesture in December 2024, when student leaders received palliative support during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Asefon noted that the rice, initially meant for distribution in December 2024, arrived late in Abuja on December 28. To ensure proper distribution, representatives were invited to Abuja to personally receive the items. Two SUG Presidents were selected from each zone to oversee and manage the distribution process.
Fahad Abdullahi, the SUG President of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, expressed gratitude on behalf of the student leaders.
He commended the initiatives, including the Nigerian Education Loan Fund and the Rice Initiative, and looked forward to more support in the future.
