Education Minister Maruf Tunji Alausa commended an Aliko Dangote Foundation plan to acquire shares in a proposed initial public offering for eligible tertiary students, according to a federal release dated 19 October.
The proposal says each eligible student aged 18 or older would receive 10 shares, potentially reaching up to four million students without an upfront purchase. It remains prospective; the ministry says its praise is not an endorsement of a particular investment.
