Student Loan To Be Restricted To High-Demand Courses - NELFUND by Edygrin(m): 7:11am On Dec 23, 2024 |
The Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has disclosed that the free access provided by the Federal Government for all students for interest-free loans would soon be altered as certain courses are likely to be barred from taking the loan. NELFUND Managing Director, Akintunde Sawyerr, revealed this at the weekend while speaking at a virtual conference organised by The Renewed Hope Global titled ‘Student Loan Masterclass: Why, What, and How?’ https://guardian.ng/news/student-loan-to-be-restricted-to-high-demand-courses/ 10 Likes

In other words, the situation is as follows: 1. Your capacity is almost exhausted. Selecting courses for the loan is obviously a strategy to drastically reduce the demand for the loan. You lack the boldness to disclose that you cannot afford to offer the loans to all the students who need it. 2. Your assertion also implies that Nigerian universities get accreditation for useless courses, and admit people to study those courses. So, your government wants to discriminate against the students doing those courses rather than mandate NUC to scrap those courses. 3. Your statement of "language courses" is vague until you mention the courses you refer to as language courses. List for us those courses that do not qualify for the loan. forgiveness:What are those language courses? Let him mention them or you should help him with that, so that we can see the rationality of his claim. Also, try to explain to us how and why discriminating against the students doing those courses is better than mandating NUC to scrap those courses. 37 Likes 2 Shares |

![]() If you Pose the question to batist, to state just one achievement or progress made by Tinubu, they will call you Ipob, Obidients or our neigbours from the East Igbo. This is what the first class economic guru & those who claimed they are " educated" & sophisticated can give to Nigeria. You started with propaganda lies & deceit & still believed in your own made up propaganda ![]() If the " educated" & sophisticated " don't realise that you cannot make any meaningful progress if the process you grabbed is fraudulently flawed in the first place, they really have to be re- educated The corruption & looting going on at the moment is enough reason to cut a 10 lane highway to looting to just 6 lanes. To get foodstuff which is out of reach of most Nigerians, stampede must first occur. This maladministration is evil, occultic, diabolic & extremely dangerous. 4 Likes |
