Student loan demand across Nigeria paints a clear picture of regional imbalance. As of May 2025, the North West leads the nation with 167,639 student loan applications, followed closely by the North East with 134,359. Together, these two zones make up a significant share of the national total, revealing strong uptake in the northern region, possibly reflecting greater institutional mobilisation, awareness, or need.
In contrast, southern zones like the South East (29,097) and South South (39,774) show much lower figures, raising questions about access, outreach, or trust in the loan programme in those regions. The South West, though the most engaged in the South with 104,079 applications, still falls far behind its northern counterparts.
FCT, Ogun, and Nasarawa consistently rank as the top three states with the highest number of road accidents.
The FCT recorded its peak accident figures in 2022, particularly in Q2 (842 cases) and Q4 (864 cases).
In Q2 and Q3 of 2024, Ogun State surpassed the FCT in the number of reported accidents.
Across these three states, there has been a notable decline in accident numbers, with an average decrease of approximately 37.6% between Q2 and Q3 2024.
