NELFUND Warns Students of Fake Loan Application Websites

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) management has issued a warning to students regarding fake websites and portals created by scammers to deceive students applying for loans.

According to Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, Director of Strategic Communication, the only official portal for student loan applications is https://www.nelf.gov.ng.

NELFUND emphasized its commitment to providing eligible Nigerian students with access to financial support through a transparent and secure process. Students are advised to visit the official website or follow verified social media handles for updates and information.

The warning comes as NELFUND continues to provide financial support to qualified Nigerian students. Established under the Student Loans (Access to Higher Education) Act, 2024, NELFUND aims to address the shortcomings of the previous Student Loan Act of 2023.

Students are advised to be cautious when applying for loans and only use the official NELFUND portal to avoid falling victim to scams.
