NELFUND reopens student loan portal for final 48 hours

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced the reopening of its student verification portal for the 2024/2025 academic year, granting tertiary institutions a final 48-hour window to complete their pending verification processes.

In a statement issued on Friday by the Director of Strategic Communications, Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, the Fund said the portal will reopen from 12:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 12, 2025, and close at 12:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

The extension, according to NELFUND, is aimed at ensuring that all eligible students are duly verified by their respective institutions as part of the ongoing loan application process.

“Institutions are strongly advised to make full use of this final opportunity. Failure to complete the verification process within the stipulated period will result in the affected institutions forfeiting participation in the current loan cycle,” the statement warned.

The Fund also disclosed that it will publish the list of defaulting institutions to promote transparency and accountability in the management of the loan scheme.

NELFUND reaffirmed its commitment to promoting equitable access to higher education through efficient and transparent administration of the Nigerian Education Loan Scheme.

Stakeholders and the public were encouraged to reach the Fund via info@nelf.gov.ng or through its official social media handles: @nelfund on X (Twitter) and Instagram, and Nigerian Education Loan Fund – NELFUND on Facebook and LinkedIn.
