NELFUND Reopens Students Loan Application Portal
Written by News Desk on October 11, 2025
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, has announced that it is giving tertiary institutions that have not yet completed their student verification process a final 48-hour period to allow to do so.
The announcement was made by the Director of Strategic Communications for the Fund, Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Friday.
Mrs Oluwatuyi hinted that the portal will be reopened from midnight on Sunday, October 12, until midnight on Tuesday, October 14.
According to her, the extension was designed to guarantee that all eligible students are properly recorded and verified by their respective institutions as part of the ongoing 2024/2025 NELFUND loan application process.
She advised affected Institutions to take full advantage of this last opportunity, noting that if the verification process is not completed within the specified time frame, the institutions concerned will lose their opportunity to participate in this loan cycle.
“A situation that will unfortunately put their students, the ultimate beneficiaries of the loan scheme, at a disadvantage,” she said.
She mentioned that to ensure transparency and accountability, the names of the defaulting institutions would be made public.
Oluwatuyi reaffirmed the Fund’s dedication to promoting fair access to higher education by managing the scheme in an efficient, transparent, and inclusive manner.
