The Federal Government’s student loan manager, NELFUND, has promised to stay transparent in running its student loan program. This commitment followed positive feedback from Stephen, a NELFUND loan recipient, who praised the program’s openness. In a tweet in Pidgin English, Stephen said, “Una Don show workings,” meaning NELFUND is keeping its promises and showing results.
Acknowledging Stephen’s feedback, NELFUND responded with appreciation, saying, “We don finally manage to impress you abi? No worry, we go continue to show workings. One upkeep alert at a time.” This response from NELFUND highlights its commitment to maintaining open communication with the public, especially with those benefiting from the student loan program.
The NELFUND Student Loan Initiative was launched by the Federal Government of Nigeria with the goal of removing financial barriers to higher education. The initiative provides interest-free loans to students across the country, helping to reshape the educational landscape by ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent talented students from pursuing their academic goals.
One of the key features of the NELFUND initiative is its wide reach, with 98 institutions across Nigeria now participating in the program. This large-scale involvement helps ensure that the benefits of the loan program extend to students in different parts of the country, regardless of their geographical location.
As of now, over 105,844 students have received financial support through NELFUND, empowering them to continue their education without the burden of high-interest loans. These loans provide students with the opportunity to focus on their studies and academic achievements, rather than being held back by financial worries.
The program’s success is evident in the significant amount of funding that has been disbursed so far. To date, NELFUND has distributed more than 11 billion Naira to students, further proving the scale of its impact. This large amount of disbursement demonstrates the government’s commitment to ensuring that education remains accessible to all, regardless of financial background.
NELFUND’s continued transparency and accountability are essential in building trust and ensuring that the funds are being used effectively. By consistently showing clear results and maintaining communication with beneficiaries, NELFUND is setting a strong example for future government programs.

The program continues to empower students across Nigeria and contribute to the development of the nation’s educational system, offering hope for a brighter, more educated future.
