The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) is to publish a full list of institutions that have submitted their complete students’ data for upload on June 24.
The fund’s spokesperson, Nasir Ayitogo, made this known in Abuja on Thursday, adding that the list of both Federal and State-owned institutions would be published onto the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS) to ensure transparency and to encourage due access and participation in the scheme.
It said the list is for undergraduate applicants and tertiary institutions.
“The process of uploading the data to NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS) is currently ongoing for the state owned institutions.
“For applicants to access the fund, the individual’s details must feature in the institution’s submitted data set sent to the NELFUND SVS, where automatic applicant verification can then occur seamlessly,” the fund said.
The fund said failure to have this verification would invalidate the application process and disadvantage applicants.
It said it was therefore critical that the information provided by the tertiary institutions was not only complete, but also accurate.
“The correlation or matching of JAMB numbers, Matriculation numbers and Admission numbers as well as applicant’s 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,” it added.
