Student Loan: Certificate Forgers Not Eligible For Student Loan Scheme

According to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu convicted certificate forgers, drug offenders, and cultists are not eligible for the student loan.


The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), the administrator of the student loan, revealed this in its “frequently asked” questions, which were posted on its official X handle on Friday.


The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) said student loan applications by citizens “convicted of fraud and forgery, drug offences, cultism, felony, or any offences involving dishonesty” would be declined.


Others whose student loan application would be declined include anyone “proven to have defaulted in respect of any previous loan granted” by any licensed financial institution and anyone “found guilty of submitting fake/fraudulent documents and dismissed for exam malpractices by any school authority.”


On Friday, The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) launched the student loan application portal for the first phase of the student loan scheme, which is open to students from federal institutions across the country.


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has a series of murky episodes characterised by academic forgery, identity theft, and narcotics trafficking.


These episodes featured before, during, and after the 2023 presidential election, resulting in litigation from the election petitions tribunal up to the Supreme Court of Nigeria.


The apex court endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu fit to rule the country despite damning evidence of his disturbing past.
