The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) says the list of tertiary education institutions that have successfully submitted student data for verification on its Student Verification System (SVS) portal will be published on the 24th of June, 2024.
A statement signed by Head, Media and Public Relations of NELFUND, Nasir Ayitogo, on Thursday said the list of both Federal and State owned institutions will be published to ensure transparency and to encourage due access and participation in the scheme, of both undergraduate applicants, and tertiary institutions in this critical exercise.
The statement reminded applicants that their details must be included in their institution’s submitted dataset on the NELFUND SVS for seamless verification.
The agency acknowledges the cooperation received from tertiary institutions nationwide and anticipates a successful implementation of the verification process to facilitate student funding access effectively.
“In order for applicants to be able to access the fund, the individual’s details must feature in institution’s submitted data set sent to the NELFUND SVS, where automatic applicant verification can then occur seamlessly.
” Failure to have this verification would invalidate the application process and disadvantage applicants.
” It is therefore critical that the information provided by the tertiary institutions is not only complete, but also accurate.
“The correlation or matching of JAMB numbers, Matriculation numbers and Admission numbers as well as applicants full names and dates of birth, will support the evaluation process.
” Applicants are urged to enter their data into the portal accurately when applying, and to ensure that their email addresses are entered without error.
” NELFUND has expressed its delight in the cooperation it has recieved from the tertiary institutions, at both state and federal level across the nation,” the statement said.
