The Federal Government has disbursed N3.7 billion in loans to roughly 2,000 academic and non-academic staff across 43 tertiary institutions under the Tertiary Institutions Staff Support Fund (TISSF). Punch reports that the Education Ministry described the rollout as an early tranche aimed at providing direct welfare and productivity support for the tertiary workforce. The ministry also supplied a breakdown indicating a larger share of beneficiaries among non-academic staff and a gender distribution skewed toward male recipients in this phase.
