The Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, has approved an extension of its Student Loan Application Portal for institutions that have formally requested additional time for the 2025/2026 academic session.
The announcement was made on Thursday in a statement by the Director, Strategic Communications, NELFUND, Mrs Oseyemi Oluwatuyi.
She explained that the extension applied strictly to institutions that submitted official requests to NELFUND for additional time to enable their eligible students complete their applications on the NELFUND Student Loan Portal.
She said speaking on the development, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NELFUND, Akintunde Sawyerr, reaffirmed the Fund’s commitment to ensuring access to the student loan programme for all eligible Nigerian students.
“NELFUND remains committed to ensuring that eligible students across participating institutions have the opportunity to access the student loan programme.”
She stated that NELFUND encouraged all eligible students in the affected institutions to take advantage of the extension and complete their applications via the official NELFUND portal.
The Fund, according to her, remained committed to transparency, accountability, and delivering sustainable student financing solutions that removed financial barriers to higher education in Nigeria.
