No godfather needed for student loan — NELFUND
THE management of Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), has reassured the public that every eligible Nigerian student will have access to the interest-free loan scheme and that no “godfather” is needed.
Executive Director, Finance and Administration, NELFUND, Dr. Fred Femi Akinfala, in a write-up, noted that the management of NELFUND is committed to creating an open, fair, and transparent application process.
Akinfala said he was convinced that by the time President Bola Tinubu would be completing his entire constitutionally allowable tenures in 2031, the students’ loan initiative, being managed by the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, would be among his best-celebrated achievements.
According to him, the initiative will be recorded as the most revolutionary policy regarding tertiary education in Nigeria.
“This is because the initiative, among other benefits, would help Nigerian students create a safe pathway from financial obstacles to attaining their educational pursuits.
