Celebrating one year since the scheme’s launch, Oluwatuyi noted a significant uptick in registrations, with 1,221 new applicants between 24 and 25 May 2025, marking a 145% increase in daily successful applications. She credited this success to effective policy implementation.

“The student loan programme has alleviated financial burdens for families and reignited hope among students, paving the way for academic success,” she remarked. The initiative highlights President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to removing financial barriers in education, with over 600,000 registrations and N56.85 billion disbursed in just twelve months.

Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr, Managing Director of NELFUND, affirmed the scheme’s significance, stating, “NELFUND is not merely a loan programme; it is a gateway to opportunity and national progress.” He emphasised the initiative’s rapid impact on student welfare and its commitment to enhancing the loan experience through collaboration with various stakeholders.
