The clarification by Nigeria — Nigerian Education Loan Fund aims to maintain public confidence in the student loan scheme, which is crucial for the education sector. Misleading statements from institutions like Ladoke Akintola University of Technology could create anxiety and potentially affect the perceived stability of government-backed financial programs.
The Nigeria — Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has addressed public statements concerning the alleged non-disbursement of student loans to beneficiaries of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH). NELFUND clarified that LAUTECH only submitted a batch of 5,237 students for processing, not the over 15,000 claimed. This batch has been processed and approved, currently undergoing final disbursement stages. NELFUND emphasized that loan approval does not guarantee immediate disbursement due to necessary verification and financial processing systems. The approved batch represents a significant financial commitment of ₦1,571,544,300.00. NELFUND urged beneficiary institutions, including Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, to ensure accurate public statements to avoid unnecessary anxiety and maintain confidence in the national intervention.
