A cautionary note was issued by the Nigerian Education Loan Fund regarding the potential risks of applying for student loans through unauthorized websites.
Students were advised to be vigilant of fraudulent portals pretending to be the official platform of the Fund, emphasizing the importance of using the correct website for loan applications.
The statement, released by Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, Director of Corporate Communications at the Fund, highlighted that the sole legitimate portal for student loan requests is www.nelf.gov.ng.
It was emphasized that any other links or websites offering access to the NELFUND Student Loan Scheme should be disregarded as they are unauthorized and potentially unsafe.
The Fund reiterated its commitment to providing financial assistance to eligible Nigerian students through a secure and transparent process, urging individuals to seek official updates on www.nelf.gov.ng or through verified social media channels.
