Federal University Dutsin-Ma Students Decry Delay and Lack of Transparency in NELFUND Refund

Students of Federal University Dutsin-Ma have expressed concern and disappointment over the delay and lack of transparency in the refund of Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) beneficiaries at the university.

Despite the significant amount disbursed by NELFUND, the university management has failed to provide clear justification and transparency in the refund process. Many students, including graduated and returning students, have paid their registration fees and submitted necessary refund letters with their bank details, but the university management has not provided any clarification or justification for the delay.

The students are urging the NELFUND management to intervene and ensure that the university management provides transparent justification for the refund process. They are also calling on the university management to be transparent in all NELFUND processes, citing NELFUND's commendable transparency and accountability in managing student loans.¹

The students have requested that the matter be addressed urgently to ensure that they receive their refund without further delay. This development comes as the university's management has faced criticism for its handling of NELFUND refunds, with some students alleging a lack of transparency and accountability.
