The Emerging Leaders Forum of Nigeria (ELFON) proudly commends the visionary leadership of the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, and the President, Sen.

We must not fail to thank Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila for initiating and facilitating this transformative initiative which epitomizes a concerted effort to foster accessibility to higher education for Nigerian students, irrespective of financial constraints. By championing the Student Loan Scheme, these esteemed leaders have demonstrated their dedication to nurturing the next generation of leaders and innovators, paving the way for a brighter future for our nation.
ELFON recognizes the profound impact that the Student Loan Scheme will have on bolstering educational opportunities and driving socio-economic advancement across Nigeria. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, and Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu for their exemplary leadership and commitment to youth empowerment.
As advocates for progressive change and inclusive development, ELFON pledges its full support to the successful implementation and expansion of the Student Loan Scheme, ensuring that it remains a beacon of hope and opportunity for generations to come.
Furthermore, we also want to use this opportunity to express our displeasure over recent incisive publications, cyber bullying and criminal defamatory publications against respected public office holders like the Chief of Defence Intelligence, Minister of state Defence; HE Bello Matawalle and the Chief of Staff to the President; HE Femi Gbajabiamila, it is despicable that even with the enormous efforts of this administration to put this country back on the pedestal of glory, some elements of discord have decided to misuse the freedom of speech we enjoy for their selfish desires, we do hereby counsel them to discard such thoughts and like in other democratic and civil climes, embrace dialogue on any issue with government.
We are hopeful that Nigeria will be great again.
We have faith in our country and our Leaders.
We will join hands to build a country we will all be proud of.
God bless our leaders!
God bless Nigeria!
Thank you and God bless.
