It requested that tertiary institutions exhibit comprehension regarding registration and fee payment cut-offs for applicants awaiting loan distribution.

“Educational Institutions are urged to demonstrate flexibility in enforcing registration and fee payment deadlines for students awaiting loan distribution.

“NELFUND calls upon all institutions to consider provisional registration protocols for students whose loan applications are under review to ensure that no student is deprived of educational opportunities due to financial impediments,” the communiqué emphasized.
