The House of Representatives has mandated all tertiary institutions across Nigeria to refund tuition fees paid by students before receiving disbursements from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).
This move comes amid concerns over fraudulent practices in the disbursement process.
The directive was part of an urgent motion sponsored by Aliyu Mustapha Abdullahi, the member representing Ikara Kubau Federal Constituency in Kaduna State, during a plenary session on Tuesday.
