In a significant expansion of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) program, 16 additional state-owned tertiary institutions have been onboarded to the student loan application portal.
This brings the total number of participating state-owned institutions to 86, further increasing the reach and impact of this critical student financing initiative.
According to information obtained from NELFUND Xpage, the newly added institutions include Cross River State University, University of Delta, Ebonyi State University, Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, and several others across Nigeria.
Students from these institutions can now log on to nelf.gov.ng to apply for the NELFUND student loans.
“We are delighted to witness the continued expansion of the NELFUND program, with 16 more state-owned institutions joining the portal,” said the NELFUND spokesperson. “This is a testament to our commitment to increasing access to higher education financing for students across Nigeria.”
The NELFUND student loan initiative, launched by the Federal Government, aims to provide affordable and accessible financing options for Nigerian students, helping to address the challenges of affordability and accessibility in the tertiary education sector
