The Association of Nigerian Female Students (ANFS) has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for a second term in 2027, citing government policies on girls’ education, student welfare and women’s economic empowerment. The endorsement was announced at the National Female Students Conference in Abuja, where ANFS highlighted initiatives such as the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), which reported approximately 440,000 female beneficiaries, and the Flow with Confidence initiative, which provided sanitary pads to about 370,000 schoolgirls. The association called for improved implementation, transparency and monitoring of these programmes, as well as expanded access to digital literacy, STEM education and protection against gender-based violence.
Meanwhile, Vice President Shettima urged religious leaders to support the Tinubu administration’s economic reforms and promote national unity. Speaking at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, he received a delegation from the Community and Youth Development National Network, a coalition of Islamic and Christian organisations, and emphasized the role of faith leaders in fostering responsible citizenship and collective development.
