The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has cautioned students against applying for loans through fraudulent websites posing as the official platform.
In a statement released on Saturday, the Fund reaffirmed its commitment to providing financial support to eligible students but urged them to remain vigilant against fake portals.
Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, the Director of Corporate Communications at NELFUND, emphasized that the only legitimate platform for student loan applications is www.nelf.gov.ng.
“Students and the public should disregard any other links, websites, or messages claiming to offer access to the NELFUND Student Loan Scheme,” the statement read. “Any platform other than www.nelf.gov.ng is unauthorized and should not be trusted.”
NELFUND assured students of a transparent and secure loan application process and advised them to rely on verified sources for official updates. Students were encouraged to visit www.nelf.gov.ng or follow NELFUND’s verified social media handles for accurate information.
