Student Loan: 12 more universities are added by NELFUND
NELFUND had said on Sunday that only 36 of 151 state-owned institutions had uploaded their students’ data on the SVS, making their students ineligible for enrollment in the student loan scheme of the federal government.
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced that 12 additional state-owned tertiary institutions have uploaded their students’ data on the Fund’s Student Verification System (SVS).
NELFUND said on Sunday that only 36 of 151 state-owned institutions had uploaded their students’ data on the SVS, making their students ineligible for enrollment in the student loan scheme of the federal government.
The government agency expects students’ data from 48 state-owned universities, 49 state-owned polytechnics and 54 state-owned colleges of education.
Additional institutions
In a statement on Wednesday, the spokesperson for NELFUND, Nasir Ayitogo, said the total number of state-owned institutions eligible to take part in the student loan scheme has now increased to 48. He also listed the additional 12 state-owned institutions onboarded for the scheme.
He added that the agency expects students’ data from the remaining 121 state-owned institutions, including universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.
Mr Ayitogo said: “The Management of Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) is delighted to announce the onboarding of an additional twelve (12) state government-owned tertiary institutions to the student loan application portal.
“This expansion comes following the successful submission and verification of data completeness and accuracy required from the institutions”.
The Fund, therefore, urged the remaining institutions to hasten the process of submitting their students’ data to enable their students to benefit from the scheme.
“It also urges states whose data have been captured and successfully uploaded to urgently sensitise their students to apply, thereby bringing succour to students who are struggling financially whilst also bringing guaranteed revenue to the institutions,” he said.
