The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has commenced the disbursement of April 2025 upkeep payments to eligible student beneficiaries across the country.

The Fund said while most payments have been successfully processed, a small number of beneficiaries may experience a delay due to the recent upgrade on its payment and application processing system.

According to a press statement by the Director, Strategic Communications, NELFund, Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, the system upgrade was expected to enhance security and support the timely disbursement of upkeep allowances in subsequent payment cycles.

“NELFUND is working closely with relevant stakeholders to resolve these issues promptly and ensure that all eligible students receive their entitlements without further delay.

“We remain committed to transparency, operational excellence, and the timely delivery of student support in alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
