The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), Akintunde Sawyerr, is scheduled to visit Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS) on Friday 12th June 2026 as part of efforts to deepen awareness and accessibility of the Federal Government's student loan scheme among students.
According to information made available to students and members of the university community, the awareness programme will be held at the Oba Lamidi Adeyemi Auditorium, Faculty of Engineering and Environmental Design, beginning at 8:00 a.m.
The visit forms part of NELFUND's nationwide sensitisation campaign aimed at educating students on the opportunities provided through the student loan initiative and encouraging eligible beneficiaries to take advantage of the scheme.
During the programme, Mr. Akintunde and other NELFUND officials are expected to provide detailed information on the objectives of the fund, eligibility criteria, application procedures, disbursement processes, and repayment guidelines.
University officials and student leaders have described the visit as an important opportunity for students to gain firsthand knowledge about the programme and understand how to benefit from it.
The awareness session is expected to attract a large turnout of students from various faculties across the university, particularly those interested in learning more about available funding opportunities for their education.
NELFUND was established to expand access to quality higher education by providing financial assistance to qualified Nigerian students. Since the commencement of the scheme, the agency has continued to engage institutions and students across the country to ensure wider participation and understanding of the programme.
Students have been encouraged to attend the event promptly and take advantage of the opportunity to interact directly with NELFUND officials and obtain accurate information about the student loan scheme.
