NELFUND Extends Application Deadline for 2025/2026 Academic Session
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) says it extends the application deadline for the 2025/2026 academic session from Jan. 31 to Feb. 27.
This is contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Thursday by the Fund’s Director, Strategic Communications, Oseyemi Oluwatuyi.
Oluwatuyi said the extension was aimed at giving prospective applicants additional time to complete and submit their applications, ensuring that no eligible student was excluded due to timing constraints.
Speaking on the extension, the Managing Director of NELFUND, Mr Akintunde Sawyerr, said the extension reflected the Fund’s commitment to inclusivity and access.
“We understand that some applicants may require additional time to complete their submissions, and this decision ensures that every eligible Nigerian student has a fair opportunity to benefit from the Fund,” he said.
He encouraged all prospective applicants who had yet to apply or complete their applications to take advantage of the extended deadline, while ensuring that all required information was submitted on or before Feb. 27.
He added that further information and updates would continue to be shared through NELFUND’s official communication channels via email at info@nelf.gov.ng.
