The Management of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) is pleased to announce that an additional twelve (12) state government-owned tertiary institutions have been successfully onboarded to the student loan application portal.

This development follows the successful submission and verification of the necessary data from these institutions. With this addition, the total number of participating state government-owned tertiary institutions has now increased from the initial 36 to 48. Data from 121 institutions are still outstanding.

During a courtesy call on His Excellency, the Governor of Osun State, in Oshogbo on Tuesday, NELFUND Managing Director, Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr, expressed his immense gratitude to all institutions that have submitted their data. He also gave special recognition to the Governor of Osun State, His Excellency Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, for his exemplary leadership in this regard.

The Fund urges all institutions that are yet to submit their students’ data to the Student Verification Portal (SVS) of the Fund to kindly do so promptly, enabling their students to benefit from the scheme.

Furthermore, NELFUND calls on states whose data has been captured and successfully uploaded to urgently sensitize their students to apply for the loan. This initiative aims to provide financial relief to students in need and ensure guaranteed revenue for the institutions.

Students from the following state government-owned tertiary institutions can now visit [nelf.gov.ng](http://nelf.gov.ng) to apply for the loan:
