Student loan: List of institutions with complete data submission to be published – NELFUND
The full list of institutions that have submitted their complete student data, as requested by the agency, for upload onto the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS) portal will be published on the 24th of June, 2024, the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND)has said.
According to a statement by Nasir Ayitogo, the Head of Media and Public Relations, a list of both Federal and state-owned institutions would be published to ensure transparency and to encourage due access and participation in the scheme.
He said: “It is commendable that many federal institutions have already completed the exercise, having been the first wave, whilst the process of uploading the data to NELFUND SVS is currently ongoing for the state-owned institutions.
“In order for applicants to be able to access the fund, the individual’s details must feature in the institution’s submitted data set sent to the NELFUND SVS, where automatic applicant verification can then occur seamlessly,” he said.
Ayitogo furthered that the information provided by the tertiary institutions must be complete and accurate while noting that failure to have this verification would invalidate the application process of applicants.
He also noted that the matching of JAMB numbers, Matriculation numbers and Admission numbers, as well as applicants’ full names and dates of birth, will support the evaluation process.
Applicants are urged to enter their data into the portal accurately when applying and to ensure that their email addresses are entered without error.
