NELFUND alerts Nigerian students to fake loan portals
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund has warned students to be cautious of a fake portal with fraudulent messages currently circulating online.
NELFUND gave the caution in a statement on Monday.
It said, “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.”
NELFUND urged the public, especially students, parents, and guardians, to avoid clicking on unverified links and to never submit personal or financial information on suspicious websites.
NELFUND has pledged its commitment to transparency, safety, and fairness in the loan application process, stating that the Fund will always make announcements through its verified platforms.
It, however, appealed ro students to report any suspicious messages or websites via email at info@nelf.gov.ng.
NELFUND also advised students to reach out through its official social media platforms: ‘X’ (formerly Twitter): @nelfund, Instagram: @nelfund, and Facebook and LinkedIn: Nigerian Education Loan Fund – NELFUND.
