COMPLETE LIST: NELFUND Approves Student Loans for 22 Additional Institutions

According to the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), 22 more state-owned postsecondary schools are now eligible to apply for student loans.

President Bola Tinubu’s premier initiative in the field of education is the rollout of the student loan program.

The Nigeria Education Loan Fund has stated that students from the following 22 state-owned tertiary schools can now apply for loans on its portal: nelf.gov.ng. This information was shared via @NELFUND on X.

This came after the group in charge of the Student Verification System reviewed it. A total of 108 institutions’ students are now eligible to apply after 86 state-owned institutions were cleared earlier, according to the statement shared via @NELFUND on X.

With the addition of the 22 state-owned institutions, there are now 108 state institutions that have been authorized.

This development occurs just one month after President Tinubu established the fund. When he signed the Access to Higher Education Act, the president established the fund. This act establishes a legal framework for lending money to low-income or destitute Nigerians in order to help them pay their tuition at Nigerian postsecondary educational institutions.

This law established the Nigerian Education Loan Fund and was reenacted earlier this year.

The burden of managing all loan requests, awards, payouts, and recovery falls on NELFUND.

The act states that the fund will participate in other worthwhile endeavors and receive funding from a variety of sources.
