Students Urged to Update Bank Details As NELFUND Upkeep Disbursements Continue

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced the successful commencement of upkeep disbursements to student beneficiaries who have updated their bank account details from digital wallet platforms to commercial bank accounts. 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. The organization appreciates the patience and understanding of all affected students during this period, noting that their resilience and cooperation have made this progress possible.

Students who are yet to receive their upkeep payments and are still using digital wallet accounts are advised to raise a support ticket via the official NELFUND portal to request access for updating their bank details. Alternatively, students may report through the IT office of their institution, which will compile and forward all related cases to NELFUND for resolution.

NELFUND remains committed to ensuring that no eligible student is left behind, and this resolution process is part of its broader effort to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and student-centered delivery of its support services. The organization urges all students to continue engaging only through official NELFUND channels and to assist peers who may require help navigating the update process.

For further inquiries or assistance, students can contact NELFUND via email at info@nelf.gov.ng or reach out through its official social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
