Officially a Corps Member! NELFUND Contributed to This Journey!"
For Nwaorgu Chijioke GodsGift, becoming a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member marks a proud milestone in his academic journey, and he is delighted to acknowledge the role played by the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) in helping him achieve this feat.
The former NELFUND beneficiary has expressed profound appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for introducing the student loan initiative, describing the intervention as a valuable source of support that contributed to his academic success and eventual transition into the NYSC programme.
Celebrating his new status as a corps member, GodsGift encouraged Nigerian students facing financial challenges to take advantage of NELFUND, noting that the scheme can ease the burden of financing higher education and enable eligible students to pursue their academic ambitions with greater confidence.
He also addressed claims that NELFUND beneficiaries would be prevented from travelling abroad after graduation until they repay their loans. He dismissed the narrative as false, urging students not to allow unverified information to discourage them from accessing the scheme. He encouraged prospective beneficiaries to consult official NELFUND channels for accurate information about loan terms and repayment obligations.
GodsGift equally commended the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NELFUND, Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr, for his leadership and efforts in steering the Fund towards achieving its mandate of expanding access to higher education.
His testimony offers an inspiring account of how access to student financing can help young Nigerians navigate financial challenges, complete their studies and progress to the next stage of life.
For Nwaorgu Chijioke GodsGift, the NYSC uniform represents more than a new chapter; it is a milestone in a journey where NELFUND played a meaningful supporting role.
