The Director General of the council, Yahaya Usman, commended President Bola Tinubu’s administration for initiating the loan programme towards supporting students in transforming their dreams into reality.

He said this during a media briefing held at the Nigeria Union of Journalists Press Centre, to mark the first step by the council to sensitise students to the loan and application process.

The Director of Finance, Najmuddin Mukhtar, said the council targeted students from the 44 Local Government Areas of the state in the loan application process.

The Director of Campaign for Gawuna/Garo 2024 Kano Governorship Elections, Alhaji Suleiman Bichi, urged students to utilise the opportunity to accomplish their goals

The immediate-past Chairman of Kano Municipal Local Government Area, Fa’izu Alfindiki, urged the students to embrace the opportunity by ensuring that they apply for the NELFUND loan.
