The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) is working on integrating its platform with university portals to streamline the student loan verification process.
Speaking at a sensitisation event in Ilorin, NELFUND’s Executive Director of Operations, Mustapha Iyal, highlighted verification challenges as a major obstacle to loan disbursement. To resolve this, students may soon have the option to select NELFUND as a payment method during their school registration, eliminating the need for separate verification.
Iyal reassured that steps are being taken to enhance accessibility and efficiency. Meanwhile, Umar Farouk, NANS representative on the NELFUND board, emphasised that this initiative would improve education access, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to supporting financially disadvantaged students.
