The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has said only 36 state-owned institutions have complied with the directive to upload their students’ data to its platform to enable them benefit from the fund.
The agency said only students of these institutions can now apply for the loan scheme introduced by the Nigerian government to address the difficulties being experienced by Nigerian students to access tertiary education in the country.
Students of the remaining 115 state-owned tertiary institutions are not yet eligible to apply due to their institutions’ failure to upload their data to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS).
“The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) is pleased to announce that students enrolled in the following 36 state-owned tertiary institutions can now apply for student loans effective today, 7th July,” the government agency posted on its X handle on Sunday.
“The management of these institutions have successfully submitted their student data to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS).”
