NELFUND Urges Student Leaders to Take Ownership of Interest-Free Education Loan Scheme

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has called on student leaders across tertiary institutions to actively take charge of the newly introduced interest-free education loan scheme. The initiative aims to provide financial support to students pursuing higher education in Nigeria.

Encouraging Student Participation

NELFUND emphasized the importance of student leaders playing a pivotal role in ensuring the success of the program. By taking ownership, student representatives can help educate their peers about the loan scheme’s benefits and application process.

Key Benefits of the Scheme

The interest-free loan program is designed to:

• Remove financial barriers to education
• Support students from various economic backgrounds
• Promote equal access to quality education

Student leaders are encouraged to serve as ambassadors of the program within their respective institutions, helping to bridge the information gap and facilitate smooth implementation.
