According to a warning from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, Students should be on the lookout for a bogus portal that is circulating false information online.
Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, the fund’s director of strategic communications, made this announcement in Abuja on Monday.
Oluwatuyi said the information contained in the online messages was 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.
She advised the general public to avoid clicking on unconfirmed links and to never provide personal or financial information on dubious websites, particularly students, parents, and guardians.
She promised that the NELFUND will always make announcements through its verified outlets and reaffirmed its dedication to openness, security, and equity in the loan application process.
She, however, appealed to students to report any suspicious messages or websites to the Fund via email at info@nelf.gov.ng.
Oluwatuyi also advised students to reach out through its official social media platforms: ‘X’ (formerly Twitter): @nelfund, Instagram: @nelfund, and Facebook & LinkedIn: Nigerian Education Loan Fund – NELFUND.
