The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced the official launch of its student loan application portal on May 24, 2024.
This initiative is set to provide much-needed financial assistance to students across the nation, ensuring they can pursue their academic dreams without financial barriers.
“The management of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), led by its Managing Director, Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr, are thrilled to announce the 24th of May, 2024, as the official date for the opening of the portal for student loan applications,” said NELFUND spokesman Nasir Ayitogo in a statement released on Thursday.
The new portal is designed with a user-friendly interface, enabling students to submit their loan applications easily and conveniently.
“Through the portal, students can now access loans to pursue their academic aspirations without financial constraints,” the statement continued.
NELFUND’s initiative reflects a major milestone in the government’s commitment to education.
“We encourage all eligible students to take advantage of this opportunity to invest in their future and contribute to the growth and development of our nation,” Ayitogo added.
Students eager to apply can visit [nelf.gov.ng](http://nelf.gov.ng) starting May 24 to begin their application process.
This move is seen as a critical component of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s (GCFR) broader vision for fostering inclusive and accessible education for all Nigerian students.
By easing the financial burden of higher education, NELFUND hopes to cultivate a more educated and empowered generation, driving forward national progress and development.
