The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced the successful commencement of monthly upkeep disbursements to student beneficiaries.
NELFUND, in a statement on Friday, stated the disbursement is for beneficiaries who have updated their bank account details from digital wallet platforms to commercial bank accounts.
Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, Director, Strategic Communications, NELFUND, who signed the statement noted that over 3,600 students who previously registered with digital-only banking platforms have successfully received their backlog of upkeep payments after updating their details to conventional commercial bank accounts on the NELFUND portal.
She asked students who are yet to receive their upkeep payments and are still using digital wallet accounts and are advised to raise a support ticket via the official NELFUND portal to request access to update their bank details.
Alternatively, students may report through the IT office of their institution, which will compile and forward all related cases to NELFUND for resolution, she added.
NELFUND restated that its committed to ensuring that no eligible student is left behind, stating that the resolution process is part of broader effort to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and student-centered delivery of its support services.
We urge all students to continue engaging only through official NELFUND channels and to assist peers who may require help navigating the update process.
We also appreciate the patience and understanding of all affected students during this period. Your resilience and cooperation have made this progress possible, she said.
