NELFUND is not a Scam. NELFUND is not for only APC members. NELFUND is not for the South alone. NELFUND is not for the North alone. NELFUND is for Nigerian Students. NELFUND does not care about whether you hate its initiator or not. NELFUND is not based on tribe or religion. NELFUND requires no godfather or connection. NELFUND offers interest-free loans to cover tuition and upkeep. NELFUND is a national asset designed to ensure no brilliant student drops out due to lack of funds. NELFUND repayment only begins after graduation and NYSC. NELFUND is an investment in Nigeria’s future, and not a trap. NELFUND stands as a bold step towards equity and opportunity for all. Support the initiative that puts Nigerian students first... The future belongs to those who invest in knowledge and not those who politicise it.

We @NELFUND wish everyone a Happy Workers' Day #NELFUNDstudentLoan

NELFUND proudly celebrates excellence honors Mr. Oladepo Caleb Olugbenga, Best Graduating Student of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, at a Recognition Ceremony held today at the Fund’s Headquarters.

So this is how Tinubu brought an end to the popular "I am the first and only UNIVERSITY GRADUATE in my family" testimonies? Wonders!!🤭 Back then, we all see this as a very powerful testimony in churches and other religious settings, but never fully understood the circumstances behind it. For decades, families have had to agree among themselves the one child that should be given University Education due to the inability of parents to afford fees, while the rest of the children are sent to learn hand jobs such as mechanic, tailoring, baking, bricklaying, etc. Today, Tinubu's @NELFUND has opened the door to even the poorest of the poorest families to have all their wards go to the University without having to sweat over fees and upkeeps. "I AM THE ONLY GRADUATE IN MY FAMILY" is no longer a testimony in Nigeria!! Thank you President @officialABAT 🤗 Thank you @NELFUND 🤗

This is another beautiful story about how @NELFUND initiated by the President Tinubu administration is changing lives at the grassroots. Thank you President Tinubu for this intervention.

My daughter's Nelfund story. (A long read but worth it) @riddwane @YhungProf0 @woye1 @ennyola0015 Some years back, my wife and I hired a girl as house help. For the purpose of this story, I will call her Adewummi. She had finished secondary sch a year prior. She had all Es and a pass. Adewummi learnt hairdressing during her school period. She wanted the job so as to raise money to do her graduation and buy some equipment. Barely a year being with us, I had discussion with my wife and told her I didn't feel right for the girl to be home doing choirs and helping with our kids when she also ought to be learning. I didn't like the future I saw if she continued this know men could make her life more miserable if she didn't go to sch. So we decide to call her mother for a meeting. The mother came. I told her our plans for her daughter. Told her I would cease from paying her salary but instead, would take up the responsibility for her education and well-being. I mean how much was she even saving when 80% of the money goes to her mother and taking care of her sibling. Her father is late. Madam knelt, thanking and praying for us. She said she had always wished for such. She confessed that as early as 4 months being with us, she noticed a marked difference in her daughter. The girl was a recluse, very respectful and quite emotional. Now she talks better, laughs and even looking robust. This girl took after her mother's stature, tall, nicely built. Trust me😂 She is peers with my own blood daughter. That is how she became our daughter regardless we always defer any decision to her mother until one day she came and told us to stop asking her before taking any decision regarding the girl. She said she had already accepted that she is ours; our daughter and whatever we do, she was okay with it knowing we are good people. (Trust my wife and I not to take such sentimental words to its end) Nevertheless, we indeed had from inception regarded her as one of our children and never treated her differently in any guise. I registered her in GCE and UTME coaching lesson and also told the private teacher who teaches our daughter to take them together. I followed up by teaching them each time I was home. I never spared the rod on either of them if they failed any assignments I gave or forget any answer that should be on their finger tips. GCE came, she made all credits. A marked departure from whence she came. It was her first time of sitting for UTME and she scored abovee 200. I made efforts to secure admission for her into LASU but when it was apparent it wasn't going to happen, I resorted to LASPOLY where she is today through the assistance of one lady SSA. I recall the day I took my wife and Adewummi out to a lounge, it was there she got the admission letter in her email. Adewummi spontaneously burst into tears. Knelt and held my leg, thanking my wife and I. Boy, was I teary! Graciously, the same year she got admitted, Laspoly was accredited and became a University of Technology. To God be the glory from her first semester till date, she has consistently scored above 3.6 GPA. As of her last semester, 3rd year, she made above 4.0 GPA. In her year II, I sent her @NELFUND link to apply. I told her she never have to worry about repaying the loan that I was going to pay it off when she graduated. I believe in @officialABAT and his reforms so I knew the students loan was going to be good. However, I forbade her to file for the upkeep allowance, as I was going to continue giving her that. Interestingly, @nelfund paid for her year II and also paid her year I (which had previously been paid by me) She's in for a 4-year course and thanks to the Tinubu's government, she will graduate next year. Like the President said, "4 year course should be 4 years". Responsible students and parents are happy for this. This is how it ought to be. Deliberately, I have left my other kids out of the story not for anything but solely because this is all about my girl,

@Austine19101309 @NELFUND @NELFUND is a life saver It has really helped me that was working alongside schooling

When you remove the barrier of tuition, you allow brilliance to thrive. My 4.61 CGPA and @YhungProf0 achievement are proof of that. Thank you @NELFUND

I am fully aware that this is a loan that will be repaid, but I am incredibly glad it came at the exact moment we needed it. It wasn't just a payment, it was an investment that ensured that our achievements weren't lost to financial hardship.

The stability provided by @NELFUND allowed us to transition from "survival mode" to "excellence mode."

The NELFUND intervention bought us back our most valuable resource: time. Instead of spending our energy on desperate side hustles just to keep up with tuition deadlines, we were able to dedicate those critical hours to the lab and to our studies

People often underestimate the "mental cost" of financial lack. Before the loan, a significant portion of our energy was spent worrying about tuition deadlines and exam clearance.
