The first phase of the student loan program includes 126 federal postsecondary schools, beginning in earnest.
Recall that the website, www.nelf.gov.ng, went live at 12 midnight on Friday, May 24th. Applicants are expected to complete the application for the interest-free loan within 15 to 30 minutes.
TimesNow.com.ng has broken down the steps to applying for the loan and the requirements by students before they can get the loan. To apply for the loan, students must provide their admission letter, national identification number, and bank.
This initial phase of the scheme is expected to benefit 1.2 million students from federal government-owned universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and technical colleges; beneficiaries from state-owned tertiary institutions will be announced later.
