The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced the successful commencement of upkeep disbursements to 3600 student beneficiaries.
Director, Strategic Communications of NELFund, Mrs Oseyemi Oluwatuyi disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
“This development marks a significant breakthrough in resolving earlier disbursement delays. Over 3,600 students who previously registered with digital-only banking platforms have now successfully received their backlog of upkeep payments after updating their details to conventional commercial bank accounts on the NELFUND portal.
“We appreciate the patience and understanding of all affected students during this period. Your resilience and cooperation have made this progress possible”, she said.
Oluwatuyi further instructed students who were yet to receive their upkeep payments and were still using digital wallet accounts to raise a support ticket via the official NELFUND portal to request access for updating their bank details.
Alternatively, students may report through the IT office of their institution, which will compile and forward all related cases to NELFUND for resolution.
“NELFUND remains committed to ensuring that no eligible student is left behind. This resolution process is part of our broader effort to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and student-centered delivery of our support services.
“We urge all students to continue engaging only through official NELFUND channels, and to assist peers who may require help navigating the update process.
“Once again, we thank you for your patience and support as we continue working to deliver a more inclusive and reliable student loan experience”, the statement concluded.
