The Management of Gombe State University (GSU) has issued an urgent directive to students who received overpayments of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) approved school fees due to a technical error.
In an official memorandum dated 12th February 2026, the Dean of Students' Affairs, Professor Rasheed Abdulganiy, instructed all affected students to return the surplus funds to the university’s dedicated revenue account.
Students must ensure the refund is made on or before 20th February 2026 using the following details:
Bank: Zenith Bank
Account Name: Gombe State University
Account Number: 1010803649
The university emphasized that returning these excess funds is "paramount" to avoid administrative complications. Students are further advised to print their payment receipts after the transaction and submit them to the Bursary Department for formal acknowledgement and documentation.
The Dean’s office warned that failure to comply with this directive within the stipulated timeframe will attract disciplinary action. This move aims to rectify the recent "double refund" or overpayment issues that have impacted students across several batches of the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 academic sessions.
