Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has urged tertiary institutions to accelerate the verification and approval of student loan applications to ensure timely disbursement of funds.
This call to action aims to address delays impacting students’ access to institutional fees and upkeep allowances.
In a statement, the Director of Strategic Communications, Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, highlighted that delays in institutional verification—a key step in the loan application process—have led to complaints from prospective beneficiaries.
“By prioritizing prompt verification, institutions can help ensure students receive their funds when due,” she noted.
In a separate development, NELFUND has relocated to its new permanent headquarters to enhance operational efficiency.
Effective September 5, 2025, all correspondence, visits, and inquiries should be directed to: House 12, Plot 103/104, Monrovia Street, Wuse 2, Opposite Bon Hotel, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria.
NELFUND emphasized that the relocation will not disrupt its services.
“We remain fully committed to providing affordable education loans and supporting Nigerian students nationwide,” the statement affirmed.
Official communication channels remain unchanged:

– Instagram: @nelfund
– Facebook & LinkedIn: Nigerian Education Loan Fund – NELFUND

NELFUND expressed gratitude for stakeholders’ continued support as it works to expand access to higher education financing across Nigeria.
