The Zonal Chairperson of ASUU (Akwa Ibom chapter) Happiness Uduk, in a press conference on Monday, criticized the student loan saying it is a ploy to enslave Nigerian youths.
Uduk said it was disheartening that the people who attended schools on scholarship, enjoyed meal subsidies, bursary awards, among others, were now implementing loans for students.
