Only applicants from federal university can access loan – FG
The Federal Government says only students enrolled in federal tertiary institutions whose institutions have finished uploading their data would be able to apply for students’ loans in the first phase.
The Managing Director of Nigerian Education Loan Fund, Akintunde Sawyerr, who disclosed this on Monday said a maximum of 1.2 million students across federal tertiary institutions will access the students’ loans in its opening phase.
Sawyerr stated that potential candidates can start the application process as early as May 24, but stressed that the loan application process has been simplified to provide simple access for all qualified students in federal tertiary institutions.
According to Sawyerr, the program is an essential part of President Tinubu’s administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Its purpose is to give needy students financial support (obligatory fees and stipends) so they can pursue their academic objectives without worrying about the financial burden.
