The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has commenced the disbursement of upkeep to students that have updated their bank accounts from digital wallet platforms to commercial banks.

This is contained in a statement in Abuja, the Director, Strategic Communications of the Fund, Mrs Oseyemi Oluwatuyi.

According to Oluwatuyi, this development marks a significant breakthrough in resolving earlier disbursement delays.

“Over 3,600 students, who previously registered with digital-only banking platforms, have now successfully received their backlog of upkeep payments after updating their details to conventional commercial bank accounts on the NELFUND portal.

“We appreciate the patience and understanding of all affected students during this period. Your resilience and cooperation have made this progress possible,” she said.

Oluwatuyi advised students yet to update their bank details to raise a support ticket via the official NELFUND portal to request access for updating their bank details.

She also urged the affected students to report through the IT office of their institutions, which would compile and forward all related cases to NELFUND for resolution.

“NELFUND remains committed to ensuring that no eligible student is left behind.

”This resolution process is part of our broader effort to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and student-centered delivery of our support services,” she added.

Oluwatuyi urged all students to continue engaging only through official NELFUND channels, and to assist peers who may require help navigating the update process.

She said that the fund can be reached through its email at info@nelf.gov.ng or its official social media platforms.

The platforms are X @nelfund; Instagram @nelfund; and Facebook & LinkedIn: Nigerian Education Loan Fund– NELFUND.

About 450 junior staff participated in the computer based test examination at Ade-Ola International School, Kubwa – a suburb in the nation’s capital.

Speaking with journalists at the end of the exercise, the Director in charge of Abuja zone for JAMB, Hajia Zainab Hamzat said the exercise went smoothly.

She noted that 476 staff under the HoS were expected to participate in the promotion exercise but only 450 workers showed up for the exam.

The drector said: “Everything went well as usual. We call it third party exam. It is a promotion exam for HoS. All their officers sat for the exam for the purpose of promotion.

“We had two sessions – morning and afternoon. In the morning we expected 250 but 232 were present. In the afternoon we expected 226 and eight were absent.

“The exam was smooth. Everything went well.

The examination was for all the junior staff of HoS. We had immigration officers, fire fighters, civil defence and other paramilitary organisations under HoS for the examination.”

Also speaking, Durector of Ade-Ola International School, Kubwa, Mercy Olaosegbe lauded JAMB for setting high standards in professional examination.

She said: “The examination went well. We have all the facilities to conduct this examination. JAMB will not allow you to participate in these exams if your facilities are not up to standard. Because our centre is doing well, we have been participating in third party examination organised by JAMB.”
