Student Loan: Some Federal Institution Have Not Uploaded Data On The Student Loan Application Portal

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND,  have revealed that some federal institutions have not uploaded their students' data on the student loan application portal despite the fact that the student loan portal has officially been launched for students to apply for the student loan.

NELFUND has expressed deep regrets that this development has been preventing the processing of the student loan application from the affected schools.

NELFUND has appealed to this federal institutions of which students are beneficiaries in the ongoing first phase of the student loan to respond appropriately.

The spokesman of NELFUND, Nasir Ayitogo,in a phone conversation with a well known news publisher in Abuja, Sunday, said the fund was encountering problems processing student loan requests from students whose institutions were yet to make data of their institutions available.

Nasir Ayitogo, however, refused to name the institutions that are yet to upload their data on the the student loan application portal of NELFUND.

“We have received a lot of loan requests from students across the country. However, some institutions have not uploaded their students’ data on the NELFUND dashboard to enable us process the requests,” Nasir Ayitogo said.

Nasir Ayitogo, however, expressed optimism that more institutions will upload the data of their students on the student loan portal in the coming days.

Recall that the Nigeria student loan scheme launched the student loan for its first phase of student loan programme, Friday.

Recall also that the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, had on Friday, called out some institutions for their slow response to upload data of their students on the Fund’s database.

This, it lamented, would prevent the student loan application of students in the affected institutions.

NANS President, Lucky Emonefe made the allegation in a memo to all Student Union Government, SUG presidents, chairmen of NANS Joint Campus Council as well as zonal coordinators of the association.

Lucky Emonefe called on the student leaders to prevail on the respective management of their institutions to comply with NELFUND directives, pointing out that any tertiary institution that fails to submit their students’ data to the Fund, would be excluded from accessing the student loan.

Dated May 23, 2023 wiith reference number NANS/VOL1/GA1/A150, the correspondence was titled, ‘Urgent notice from NELFUND to all students leaders and school managements’.

The memo read:”Following a meeting with the management of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), we have been made aware that several Federal Universities are yet to submit their students’ data. This is hindering the processing of the Students’ Loan scheme in various ways.

“NELFUND management has hereby requested that the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) urge the Vice Chancellors of these Federal Universities to comply with NELFUND’s directives and promptly submit their students’ data for upload on the NELFUND platform. This will enable the loan processing to commence as soon as possible.

“Please note that any Federal University that fails to submit their data may be excluded from accessing the loan, and NELFUND will not be held responsible.

“We urge all Student Union Presidents and other student leaders, particularly those from Federal Universities, to ensure that their school managements have submitted the necessary data to NELFUND. This will guarantee that no university is left out of the Students’ Loan scheme”.
