The management of Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has noticed the publication of misleading narratives on social media claiming that the student loan programme is solely for federal institutions.
A statement issued to journalists affirmed that NELFUND categorically state that the information is incorrect.
The statement further said that State institutions are unequivocally by law included in the student loan programme.
It clarified that the programme is designed to roll out in phases in order to ensure effective and efficient management of the process.
The first phase for a start will focus on students attending federal institutions.
The second phase, which will be launched shortly after the initial rollout, will extend the programme to students at state institutions.
NELFUND is fully committed to providing financial support to all eligible students, regardless of whether they attend Federal or State tertiary public institutions they attend.
The mission of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is to ensure that all desirous students have access to the financial resources necessary to pursue their educational goals and aspirations.
