NELFUND Clarifies Misinformation On Students Upkeep Allowance

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has noted misinformation circulating regarding the monthly upkeep allowance for student beneficiaries.

For clarity, the approved upkeep allowance remains 20,000 (Twenty Thousand Naira) monthly, and not 825,000 (Twenty Five Thousand Naira) as being reported.

Students are advised to disregard any contrary information and rely only on official NELFUND communication channels for accurate updates.
