The meeting focused on potential areas of partnership, including streamlined student data verification processes, expanded loan awareness through university networks, and joint initiatives to promote financial literacy and improve student support services across tertiary institutions.
Both parties emphasized the importance of accurate data management and coordinated communication in ensuring that students benefit efficiently from available loan opportunities.
Also in attendance were Hajjia Lamin Suwaid, Director of Loan Allocation; Dr. Zino Ugboma, Director of Human Resources; Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, Director of Strategic Communications; Ms. Theodora Azinge, Deputy Director, Loan Allocation and Distribution; and Mr. Martins Obaje, Assistant Director, Planning, Research and Statistics.
