“Through the portal, students can now access loans to pursue their academic aspirations without financial constraints,” the statement reads.

“The portal provides a user-friendly interface for students to submit their loan applications conveniently.

“We encourage all eligible students to take advantage of this opportunity to invest in their future and contribute to the growth and development of our nation.

“Students can access the portal at www.nelf.gov.ng to begin their applications.”

How to Apply:

Students can access the portal via https://nelf.gov.ng to begin their application starting from May 24, 2024..

For further inquiries and assistance, students can reach out to NELFund via email at info@nelf.gov.ng or through their social media channels.

This comes a few months after President Bola Tinubu signed Student Loan Bill into law to enable students have access to loans at interest-free rates.
