The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced the approval of an additional 22 state-owned tertiary institutions for inclusion in its student loan programme, expanding access to financial support for students across the country.

In a statement released via its official handle on X (formerly Twitter), NELFUND confirmed that the newly cleared institutions were approved after a comprehensive review by the committee overseeing the Student Verification System (SVS).

According to the Fund, students enrolled in these newly accredited institutions can now proceed to apply for loans through the official NELFUND portal at nelf.gov.ng.

The latest development follows the earlier clearance of 86 institutions, bringing the total number of approved state-owned institutions to 108 nationwide.
