The Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, has called on institutions in the South-East and South-South regions to intensify efforts in promoting student participation in its loan scheme, following noticeable disparities in applications from those zones compared to other parts of the country.
NELFUND Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr, made the call on Monday during a stakeholders’ engagement session and technical workshop on system automation and the loan application process in Abuja.
The three-day workshop, which opened with representatives from universities, is set to continue with polytechnics, monotechnics, and technical institutes today, and will round off on May 7 with colleges of education, agriculture, health, and nursing.
