NELFUND Don Talk Say No Student Go Miss Exam

My people, abeg make I yarn you the latest wey dey happen for education matter for Naija, especially for NELFUND. The Managing Director of Nigeria Education Loan Fund, Akintunde Sawyerr, don clear the air say no eligible student go dey denied to sit for exam because of loan wahala.

For interview wey e do with ARISE News, Sawyerr confirm say dem dey follow the matter up with schools like University of Benin and LAUTECH. Dem don dey try fix the wahala wey dey cause delay for verification and disbursement. Wetin e talk be say, ‘the welfare of our students na our number one priority,’ and person no suppose lose exam because of loan issue.

Students don dey raise eyebrow after some final-year students no fit enter exam hall despite the fact say dem don pay their school fees through NELFUND. But no worry, NELFUND dey on top the matter, and dem don promise to make sure that everybody wey qualify go get wetin dem need.

Sawyerr explain say this loan scheme wey President Bola Tinubu introduce na to help students wey sabi book but no get money. Na interest-free loan, and repayment dey very easy, no be like those wahala loans wey dey collect for bank.

But no be say everything dey flow like water. Sawyerr talk say some timelines and processes dey in place to ensure say money no waka go wrong hand. One thing wey e talk wey make sense be say, ‘We fit’t rush the process wey dey to stop misappropriation of funds.’ E even mention say dem don pay money to 265 institutions across Naija, and dem still get like 1.5 million applications wey dey process.

As wahala dey happen for some students wey no fit verify for LAUTECH, Sawyerr come make hin own approach. E dey encourage the institutions to allow the affected students write their exams while dem dey sort out this verification matter.

So, for all the students wey dey worry, no need to fear. NELFUND dey promise say dem go do wetin e go take to clear everything up. E dey confirm say dem don dey talk to all the institutions about how to make sure students dey all okay for their exams.

Na so Sawyerr also talk say number of new applications don increase sharply, with about 8,000 applications coming in a day. This one mean say students dey trust the system and dey rush to apply!

Before e conclude, he talk say dem go make sure say everything dey transparent and accountable. ‘Our mission na to make sure say students wey get the brain and desire to stay school fit reach graduation,’ na wetin hin talk be that.
