Applicant Matric Number And Date of Birth Must Match To Access Student Loan
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has asked applicants for the students loan programme to ensure that their admission details with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) are intact and the same with what is provided during applications for the student loan.
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) insisted that matriculation numbers and admission numbers, as well as full name and dates of birth of applicants must match to support the evaluation process insisting that otherwise could affect the success of their student loan application.
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), thus urged applicants to enter their information into the student loan portal accurately when applying for the student loan, and also ensure that their email addresses are entered without error.
Nasir Ayitogo, Head, Media and Public Relations, NELFUND, in a statement, on Thursday, revealed that NELFUND has finalized the plans to publish the list of institutions that have submitted complete students’ information as requested by the Agency, for upload to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS) portal.
Nasir Ayitogo noted that the list which will be published on June 24th, 2024, consists of the list of federal and state-owned institutions.
Nasir Ayitogo explained that the action was to ensure transparency and due access to the student loan, as well as the participation in the student loan scheme, of both undergraduate applicants, and tertiary institutions in this critical exercise.
Nasir Ayitogo confirmed that many federal institutions have already completed the exercise having been the first wave, whilst the process of uploading the data to NELFUND SVS is currently ongoing for the state-owned institutions.
Nasir Ayitogo insisted that individual’s details must feature in institution’s submitted data sent to the NELFUND SVS in order for such applicants to be able to access the student loan.
“Failure to have this verification would invalidate the application process and could put the applicant in a disadvantage position. It’s therefore critical that the information provided by the tertiary institutions is not only complete but also accurate,” Nasir Ayitogo demanded.
Nasir Ayitogo, thus, expressed the delight of NELFUND in the cooperation it has received from the tertiary institutions, at both state and federal levels across the federation.
