The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has warned against fraudulent links, urging students and the public to remain vigilant amid rising scams targeting applicants in its interest-free loan programme
The warning follows the circulation of a fraudulent notice claiming the existence of a new 2026 registration portal.
According to the fraudulent message sighted by TVC News, it stated that President Bola Tinubu had issued a new directive due to a high level of complaints from Nigerian students about the loan scheme.
It also promoted a dubious link as an official portal for student loan registration and cash transfers, which NELFUND described as fraudulent.
In a post on its official X handle on Thursday, NELFUND urged Nigerians to verify all links and rely exclusively on its verified channels to avoid falling victim to misinformation and potential scams.
“Please ensure you verify all links and rely only on our official channels for accurate information. Remain vigilant against misinformation, fake news, and potential scams,” NELFUND wrote.
