The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced the postponement of its loan application for state universities due to insufficient data submission.
According to a statement released on Tuesday in Abuja, only a limited number of state-owned institutions have successfully completed the data submission process.
“20 state universities out of 48, 12 state colleges out of 54, and 2 state polytechnics out of 49 has submitted their data.
“We acknowledge the efforts of the institutions, the lack of data from the remaining state institutions poses significant challenges to the verification process for student loan applicants.”
The agency said “the application window, initially scheduled to open on June 25, 2024, has been rescheduled to commence on July 10, 2024. All state institutions are required to provide complete and accurate information to facilitate an efficient and error-free application process.
“The required information includes Joint Admissions Matriculation Board numbers, matriculation numbers, admission numbers, full names, level, faculties, departments, duration of program, fees, and gender of all eligible students. Incomplete or incorrect data submissions will result in application delays and potential disqualification for affected students.”
