ByAbdulrahaman Taye Damilola

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has issued a critical warning to students about a fraudulent online portal that is spreading false information. In a statement released from Abuja on Monday, the Director of Strategic Communications, Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, emphasized the misleading nature of the messages currently circulating.

“The attention of NELFUND has been drawn to a fraudulent message currently circulating online, falsely claiming that President Bola Tinubu has directed the reopening of the NELFUND Student Loan portal,” Oluwatuyi stated. She cautioned the public against these deceptive communications and highlighted the importance of verifying information.

“We wish to categorically state that this website is FAKE, and the information contained in the message is false and misleading. The only official portal for the NELFUND Student Loan Application is: https://nelf.gov.ng,” she added.

Oluwatuyi urged students, parents, and guardians to exercise caution by avoiding unverified links and safeguarding their personal and financial information. She reiterated NELFUND’s commitment to transparency and safety in the loan application process, assuring that official announcements will only be made through verified channels.

In addition, she encouraged students to report any suspicious messages or websites to the Fund via email at info@nelf.gov.ng. For further assistance, NELFUND can also be reached on its official social media platforms: ‘X’ (formerly Twitter): @nelfund, Instagram: @nelfund, and Facebook & LinkedIn: Nigerian Education Loan Fund – NELFUND.
