The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has alerted students of the existence of a fake portal with fraudulent messages currently circulating online.
Director of Strategic Communications, Mrs Oseyemi Oluwatuyi in a statement in Abuja said the information contained in the online messages were misleading.
“The attention of NELFUND has been drawn to a fraudulent message currently circulating online, falsely claiming that President Bola Tinubu has directed the reopening of the NELFUND Student Loan portal
“The portal is with a link to a fake website: https://nelfund-student-loan-2025.po-rt-al.com/NELFUND/.
“We wish to categorically state that this website is FAKE, and the information contained in the message is false and misleading.
“The only official portal for the NELFUND Student Loan Application is: https://nelf.gov.ng,” she said.
Oluwatuyi urged 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.
She pledged NELFUND’s commitment to transparency, safety, and fairness in the loan application process, adding that the fund would always make announcements through its verified platforms.
She, however, appealed to students to report any suspicious messages or websites to the fund via email at info@nelf.gov.ng.
