The management of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced that a full list of institutions that have submitted their complete student data, as required, will be published on June 24, 2024, on the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS) portal.
In a statement by the Head of Media and Public Relations, Nasir Ayitogo, the Fund said the list will include both Federal and State-owned institutions to ensure transparency and encourage 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 emphasized that failing to complete this verification process would invalidate applicants’ applications, making it crucial for tertiary institutions to provide accurate and complete information.
He also noted that matching JAMB numbers, matriculation numbers, admission numbers, applicants’ full names, and dates of birth will facilitate the evaluation process.
Applicants are urged to enter their data accurately on the portal and ensure their email addresses are correct.
