The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has commenced the disbursement of April 2025 upkeep payments to eligible student beneficiaries across the country.

The fund, in a statement signed by the Director, Strategic Communications, Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, said while most payments have been successfully processed, a small number of beneficiaries may experience delay due to the recent upgrade on the payment and application processing system.

“This system upgrade is expected to enhance security and support the timely disbursement of upkeep allowances in subsequent payment cycles.”

She said NELFUND is working closely with relevant stakeholders to resolve the issues promptly and ensure that all eligible students receive their entitlements without further delay.

“We remain committed to transparency, operational excellence, and the timely delivery of student support in alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda,” she said.

While appreciating the patience and cooperation of all stakeholders, she said the fund will continue to improve service delivery for the benefit of Nigerian students.
