Schools that fail to meet the deadline will <strong>lose eligibility<\/strong> for the current cycle \u2014 a setback that could prevent their students from applying for the NELFUND loan this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The verification ensures that <strong>every qualified student<\/strong> is properly captured in the loan system, maintaining fairness and accuracy throughout the selection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What This Window Covers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This reopening is <strong>strictly for school-level verification<\/strong> \u2014 not for individual applications. Its purpose is to ensure institutions upload and confirm their students\u2019 data within the portal, as part of the national student loan drive for 2024\/2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Students Should Do<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are strongly advised to contact their school\u2019s administration immediately to confirm if their information has been uploaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, students can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nelf.gov.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official NELFUND website<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> for verified updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Monitor lists of non-compliant institutions<\/strong>, which will be published alongside this notice for transparency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Get Support or Updates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For inquiries or technical assistance, NELFUND provided the following official contact points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Email:<\/strong> info@nelf.gov.ng<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nelf.gov.ng\">www.nelf.gov.ng<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social Media:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>X (Twitter): @nelfund<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instagram: @nelfund<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facebook &amp; LinkedIn: <em>Nigerian Education Loan Fund<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>NELFUND Reaffirms Its Commitment to Fair Access<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In its statement, NELFUND reiterated its <strong>commitment to transparency, fairness, and accessibility<\/strong> in the student loan process.
