The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has confirmed that 12 more state owned institutions have fulfilled all requirements and submitted necessary documentations to make their students eligible to access the federal students’ loan scheme. The management of NELFUND made this announcement through its Head, Media and Public Relations, Nasir Ayitogo, who noted in his statement that 121 other institutions are yet to complete the onboarding process.
The statement further urged the outstanding institutions to complete the process swiftly while encouraging those fully onboard to educate their students on how to take advantage of the scheme.
“With this latest addition, the total number of participating state government-owned tertiary institutions has now increased from the initial 36 announced earlier to 48. Students’ data from 121 institutions is outstanding,” the statement read.
