This was just as the Association asked the House to include student representation on the board and capture Polytechnics and Collages of Education on the board instead of only National University Commission (NUC) which was earlier captured.

Barambu said criteria for access to loan in the current act was too stringent adding that the method of payment of 2years was too short but should be reviewed to at least 4 to 5years.
