Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Bola Tinubu has extended palliative support to Student Union Government (SUG) Presidents across Nigeria\u2019s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n

The distribution of rice, facilitated by the Special Adviser on Students Engagement, Asefon Sunday, took place in Abuja.<\/p>\n

During the event, Asefon explained that the initiative was part of the President\u2019s ongoing efforts to support students and their communities. He recalled a similar gesture in December 2024, when student leaders received palliative support during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, SUG Presidents across the Federation will receive rice from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a leader who values students not just as tomorrow\u2019s leaders but as leaders of today,\u201d Asefon said.<\/p>\n

He noted that the rice, initially meant for distribution in December 2024, arrived late in Abuja on December 28. To ensure proper distribution, representatives were invited to Abuja to personally receive the items. Two SUG Presidents were selected from each zone to oversee and manage the distribution process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unprecedented. For the first time in this country, a sitting President is directly reaching out to student leaders during the festive season,\u201d Asefon remarked.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Asefon assured students of more benefits under the Presidential initiative in 2024. \u201cThis is a time for Nigerian youth and students to reflect, express their views, and engage actively with the government. The impact of this administration is now being felt by students nationwide,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Fahad Abdullahi, the SUG President of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, expressed gratitude on behalf of the student leaders. \u201cWe were informed that all SUG Presidents across the nation would receive rice, a kind gesture from the President. We sincerely appreciate this initiative and commend him for his focus on students, from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund to this Rice Initiative,\u201d Abdullahi said.<\/p>\n
