The distribution of student loan applications across Nigerian universities reveals a pronounced regional pattern. Institutions in the North West and North East dominate the top 10, with University of Maiduguri leading the chart with 31,770 applications. This strong showing suggests not only a heightened demand but also possibly stronger mobilisation or outreach efforts in these regions. Five of the top 10 universities are in the North West alone, underscoring the region's central role in the uptake of the education loan scheme.
North Central, represented by University of Jos and University of Ilorin, demonstrates significant engagement as well, suggesting the programme's widening geographical reach. Interestingly, while southern institutions are absent from the top 10, the steady presence of universities from across multiple northern zones reflects both the educational demographics and possibly varying access to alternative funding sources.
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.
