President Muhammadu Buhari while presenting the 2016 fiscal year budget
has declared that there will be free education for science, technology
and education students in tertiary institutions.
“Furthermore, through the office of the Vice President,
we are working with various development partners to design an
implementable and transparent conditional cash transfer program for the
poorest and most vulnerable.
“This program will be implemented in phases. Already, the compilation of registers of the poorest persons is ongoing.
“In
the coming weeks, we will present the full programme which will include
our home-grown public primary school feeding and free education for
science, technology and education students in our tertiary institutions.
“Indeed, this will mark a historic milestone for us as a nation”, President Buhari said.
