NANS gives 48-hour ultimatum to institutions over missing data

He mentioned that NELFUND management had set a deadline of July 12, 2024, for the submission of student data.

“If these institutions fail to provide this information on the NELFUND portal within the next 48 hours, we will be compelled to implement our action plans against them,” he warned.

Emonefe further expressed NANS’ disappointment, noting that it reflects a lack of commitment and urgency among the remaining state higher institutions in Nigeria.

“NELFUND was established to provide interest-free loans to students in need, and it is disheartening to see that some institutions are not leveraging this valuable opportunity for their students.

“We urge the management of these institutions to prioritise the uploading of students’ data on the loan board portal before the deadline. Education is a fundamental right, and every student deserves access to financial support to advance their studies.
