Port Harcourt, Rivers State – Omo, make we yarn small gisting wey touch many students waka! NELFUND, dem wey dey manage student loans for Nigeria, don come out come tell everybody say dem loan no be free money o, e go need repayment when students don graduate.
As e be, dem don collect more than 760,000 applications from students wey dey interested in this opportunity. Na serious matter wey plenty people don dey eye since Federal Government dey carry this initiative like as e dey happen for movies!
Mr. Akintunde Sawyer, wey be the Managing Director of NELFUND, come clear the air during one day capacity building wey happen for University of Port Harcourt. E talk say 400,000 students don already benefit from this loan wey dem set up, and dem dey very serious about providing access to quality education.
“We dey press forward to make sure sey youths no dey dull for matter of education,” Akintunde talk. E also no forget to remind everybody say make dem no just use the money chop jollof rice or buy sneakers, na to use am for study matter e go make sense pass (you no fit collect loan finish and go dey dance pressing!)
Although NELFUND dey try carry wahala for students to come find education, plenty padi don dey wonder how dem go take repay the loan after e don mature. As the system dey be, we go need see how the Federal Government go fit support these students to fit pay the money wey dem borrow.
With all these talk about repayment, e go good make dem also provide practical support to these students to fit manage wetin dem don borrow. I mean, you no go wan see person dey use loan for education and end up for bank wahala after graduation, abi?
Na serious discussion wey go dey happen as time dey waka. So make all the students wey don collect the loan shine their eyes well well, because when e reach time to pay, na serious matter e go be!
Keep your ears on ground because NELFUND suppose dey drop more updates as dem plan to impact education with this loan scheme. But make everybody no forget sey loan no be money wey you go use buy drink o, unless you wan pay am back with your future salary (and na serious risk!).
