A policy brief has raised concerns about the potential recovery of loans disbursed by a student loan scheme. The total amount at risk is substantial, with nearly N356 billion having been given to beneficiaries. To address this issue, it has been suggested that the scheme be integrated with income data to track borrowers.

This could help recover loans from graduates who are self-employed or outside the formal payroll system. Further details about the scheme and the proposed solution are available from the think tank that released the brief. The brief highlights the need for urgent action to strengthen the loan recovery process.
