The student loan scheme will be open to state-owned tertiary institutions in three weeks.
Akintunde Sawyerr, Managing Director of Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), addressing a press conference on Thursday, May 30, said the fund aims to start receiving applications on June 25.
However, he added that the date remains tentative due to factors like data upload by institutions.
He said, “We will commence accepting applications from students attending state-owned tertiary institutions in three weeks time.
“We request all state institutions to submit their students data immediately in order to facilitate a smooth and seamless application process.”
