NELFUND Approves 22 More Institutions for Student Loans

The Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced that an additional 22 state-owned tertiary institutions have been approved to apply for student loans. This initiative is part of President Bola Tinubu’s key project in the education sector.

In a statement shared on X via @NELFUND, it was noted that “students from these 22 state-owned tertiary institutions can now apply for loans on the NELFUND portal: nelf.gov.ng.”

This approval came after a review by the Student Verification System committee. Previously, 86 state-owned institutions were cleared, making a total of 108 institutions whose students are eligible to apply for loans.

The inclusion of these 22 institutions increases the total number of approved state-owned institutions to 108, coming just a month after the fund’s establishment by President Tinubu.

The president launched the fund upon signing the Access to Higher Education Act, which provides a legal framework for offering loans to low-income Nigerians to help them pay for their education at Nigerian tertiary institutions.

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund, established earlier this year, is tasked with managing loan requests, grants, disbursements, and recovery.

According to the act, the fund will receive financing from various sources and engage in additional productive activities.
