The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has dismissed as false a viral letter circulating online which claimed that the disbursement of student loans under the federal government’s scheme had been ..

In a clarification issued through its official communication channels, the agency stated that it had not released any directive halting the student loan programme, urging students and the public to disregard the document. According to NELFUND, the letter, which appeared to carry official insignia, is fraudulent and did not originate from the organisation.

The misinformation sparked concern among students and stakeholders who rely on the loan initiative to support their tertiary education. However, NELFUND reassured beneficiaries that the programme remains active and that no suspension has been announced.

The Fund emphasised that all updates regarding its operations, including loan approvals and disbursements, will only be communicated through its verified platforms. It warned against relying on unconfirmed messages or documents circulated on social media.

NELFUND further advised students, educational institutions, and the general public to verify information through official channels to avoid confusion or unnecessary panic. The agency reiterated its commitment to transparency and the continued implementation of the student loan scheme aimed at improving access to higher education in Nigeria.

Observers note that the incident highlights the growing spread of misinformation in the digital space, particularly on issues affecting the education sector and government policies impacting students nationwide.
