Tinubu was represented by Professor Abdulkarim Mohammed, the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University in Dutsinma, Jigawa State, who called on Nigerians to support the government’s initiatives by reporting any suspicious activities to the authorities.
In addition, Tinubu encouraged the nation’s youth to take advantage of a loan scheme, which has seen over N70 billion disbursed, to aid their educational and entrepreneurial pursuits.
