Similarly, the Federal University of Health Sciences Ila-Orangun (FUHSI), Osun State, has confirmed the receipt of ₦7,448,000 on behalf of 29 students, marking the first batch of disbursements to the institution.
In an acknowledgment letter sent to the Managing Director of NELFUND and signed by FUHSI’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Akeem Olawale Lasisi, the university disclosed that the payment was verified through a bank statement obtained from the institution’s e-collection account domiciled with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
NELFUND is a government agency responsible for managing education loans for undergraduate students attending public institutions across Nigeria.
The agency disburses loans for both tuition fees and student upkeep. While tuition loans are paid directly into the students’ school accounts, upkeep loans are credited to the students’ personal accounts.
