NELFUND Management Meets EFCC to Discuss Transparency and Fund Protection

The Managing Director/CEO of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr, led the Executive Management of the Fund on a courtesy visit to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The visit, which took place recently, was hosted by EFCC's Executive Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukayode.

The primary purpose of the visit was to reaffirm NELFUND’s commitment to transparency in the administration of the fund, particularly regarding disbursement processes. The NELFUND team sought the EFCC's support in safeguarding the fund from fraudulent activities and ensuring its proper utilization.

Mr. Sawyerr emphasized that issues such as banditry, insurgency, and other crimes are often linked to a lack of access to education caused by financial constraints. He reiterated NELFUND's dedication to protecting the fund from both internal and external threats to facilitate educational opportunities for Nigerian youth.
