August 7, 2023

Education is a crucial foundation for a successful future, but sometimes financial hurdles can make it difficult for students to fully engage and excel. In such cases, a concept known as 'student palliative care' steps in to offer specific financial support.

Student palliative care for financial support is a strategy that aims to help students facing financial challenges that may hinder their educational progress. This assistance is designed to alleviate the financial burdens that can often impede a student's ability to fully participate in their studies and realize their potential. It's not about charity, but rather a targeted effort to level the playing field and ensure that all students have equal opportunities to succeed.

In a significant development aimed at providing financial relief to undergraduate students hailing from Kwara State who are enroled in public-owned tertiary institutions (including NOUN) across the country, the Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq, has authorised the disbursement of fuel subsidy removal palliatives.

The initiative seeks to alleviate the economic burdens faced by these students due to the recent fuel subsidy removal.
