Southeast NELFUND Caucus calls for compliance with loan verification

The Southeast caucus of the National Assembly has urged tertiary institutions in the zone to comply with the verification request of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, for the disbursement of loans to students.
The caucus made this call in a statement through its leaders, Enyinnaya Abaribe and Igariwey Enwo in Abuja.
It noted that it had observed the absence of beneficiaries from South East tertiary institutions on the list of students receiving loans disbursed by NELFUND.
It pointed out that out of the N2.9 billion already disbursed to 27,667 students from 19 institutions across the country, higher institutions in the Southeast were notably absent from the list.
