'12 Additional Institutions Onboarded For Student Loan'

The management of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund has revealed that the Fund has on boarded 12 addition state government-owned tertiary institutions to the student loan application pool.

A statement signed by the Head, Media and Public Relations of the Fund, Nasir Ayitogo, noted that the onboarding followed the successful submission and verification of data completeness.

“With this latest addition, the total number of participating state government-owned tertiary institutions has now increased from the initial 36 announced earlier to 48. Students’ data from 121 institutions is outstanding,” the statement read.

The Fund urged all institutions that have yet to submit their students' data to the Student Verification Portal to do so to enable their students to benefit from the scheme.

It also called on states whose data had 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.
