Nigerian Education Loan Fund Expands Reach with New Onboarding of State-Owned Institutions
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELF) continues to make significant strides in its mission to provide accessible financial aid to students across the country. As of the latest update, a total of 86 state-owned institutions have been successfully onboarded onto the NELF portal, expanding the reach and impact of the student loan program.
In a recent statement, Reuben Muoka, Director of Public Affairs at the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), highlighted the progress and commitment of the NELF initiative. The onboarding of these institutions is a pivotal step towards ensuring that more students can benefit from the financial support necessary to pursue their educational goals.
The institutions now part of the NELF portal include a wide range of universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education from various states across Nigeria. This diverse inclusion reflects the government’s dedication to enhancing educational opportunities nationwide.
Students currently enrolled in any of these 86 listed institutions are encouraged to visit the official NELF portal at nelf.gov.ng to apply for the education loan. The process is designed to be straightforward, ensuring that eligible students can access the funds they need without unnecessary delays.
The expansion of the NELF program underscores the Nigerian government’s commitment to supporting higher education and addressing the financial challenges faced by many students.
