The Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced a historic milestone, recording the highest number of student loan applications in a single day since the launch of its application portal.
Under the visionary leadership of Managing Director/CEO Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr, NELFUND received an astonishing 9,687 student registrations within just 24 hours, with 7,975 completed loan applications.
This surge marks a significant moment since the portal’s opening on May 25, 2024.
The influx of applications highlights a pressing reality: many aspiring students face substantial financial constraints, reinforcing the importance of NELFUND’s mission to provide essential support to Nigerian youth seeking tertiary education.
This achievement aligns with the vision and directives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), who has championed initiatives to enhance educational financing across the nation. Since the portal’s inception, NELFUND has experienced a steady flow of applications, underscoring the urgent need for financial assistance among Nigerian students.
In light of this milestone, NELFUND encourages all students facing financial hardships to seize this opportunity provided by the President. Eligible students are urged to apply for loans through the user-friendly NELFUND portal, designed to streamline the application process and make it accessible to all.
To further support applicants, NELFUND has established a dedicated assistance team, ready to guide students through the application procedure and address any inquiries they may have. This record-breaking achievement is not only a testament to the effectiveness of NELFUND’s outreach efforts but also a significant affirmation of the trust placed in the program by students and the President’s initiatives.
