The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has warned the public about a fraudulent message currently circulating online.
The message falsely claims that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the reopening of the NELFUND Student Loan portal and includes a link to a fake website: https://nelfund-student-loan-2025.po-rt-al.com/NELFUND/.
In a statement issued on Monday in Abuja, the Director of Strategic Communications, Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, confirmed that the website is fake and described the content of the message as false and misleading.
She emphasized that the only official portal for the NELFUND Student Loan Application is: https://nelf.gov.ng.
“We urge the general public especially students, parents, and guardians to avoid clicking on unverified links and to never submit personal or financial information on suspicious websites,” Oluwatuyi stated.
She reiterated NELFUND’s commitment to transparency, safety and fairness in the loan application process and assured that all official updates will be communicated through verified platforms.
