NELFUND had on June 25, 2024, shifted the application process for student loan for applicants from state-owned tertiary institutions to July 10 due to low data submissions.

The process was supposed to be opened to the students from June 25, 2024.

In a statement by Head, Media and Public Relations, Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), Nasir Ayitogo the organisation had said the decision to shift the date was necessitated by the failure of several state-owned institutions to upload the required student data and fees information to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS).

No fewer than 1.2 million students are expected to benefit from the cardinal programme of the President Bola Tinubu administration.

The ambitious cardinal programme will be funded with one per cent of the total annual collectable revenue by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).

The president approved N35 billion for the take – off of the scheme.

President Tinubu on April 3 signed into law the bill on the scheme in line with his electoral promise that no Nigerian student would drop out of school on account of lack of funds.

According to the law, repayment will commence two years after the completion of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme.
