The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has reopened its verification portal for the 2024/2025 academic session, giving tertiary institutions a final 48-hour window to complete pending student verification.

According to the Fund’s Director of Strategic Communications, Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, the portal will be accessible from 12:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 12, to 12:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

The extension is to ensure that all eligible students are verified as part of the ongoing loan application process.

Oluwatuyi said; “Institutions that fail to complete verification within the given timeframe will lose access to the 2024/2025 loan cycle, affecting their students’ eligibility.”

She also stated that NELFUND would publish the list of defaulting institutions, reaffirming its commitment to equitable access to higher education through transparent and inclusive management of the loan scheme.

“Institutions are strongly advised to make full use of this final opportunity. Failure to complete the verification process within the stipulated period will result in the affected institutions forfeiting participation in the current loan cycle.
“In the interest of transparency and accountability, the list of defaulting institutions will be published alongside this press release,” Oluwatuyi explained.
