The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has clarified that some beneficiaries may experience a delay in the disbursement of April 2025 upkeep payments.
The Director of Strategic Communications, NELFUND, Mrs Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, who disclosed this in a statement on Monday, said this was due to the recent upgrade of its payment and application processing system.
Oluwatuyi explained, however, that the Fund has commenced the disbursement of April upkeep payments to eligible student beneficiaries across the country.
“While most payments have been successfully processed, a small number of beneficiaries may experience a delay due to the recent upgrade on our 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,” the statement said.
The statement noted that 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.
“We appreciate the patience and cooperation of all stakeholders as we continue to improve service delivery for the benefit of Nigerian students,” the statement read.
