We’ve received N201m Tinubu’s student loan- UI Registrar

Registrar of the University of Ibadan, G.O Salisu has confirmed that the institution has received the sum of N201m from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund for the payment of fees of students.

Salisu, however, advised students who had earlier paid their tuition fees to apply for a refund.

The university, in a circular by Salisu, dated August 9, 2024, and addressed to the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, a copy of which was released to journalists on Monday, reads, “ The Nigerian Education Loan Fund has remitted the sum of N201m only to the university account for the 2023/2024 academic session. This amount is to cover the fees of 1,370 students of our university who applied for the NELFUND loan.

“The Bursary Department is currently processing the fund to enable the concerned students to obtain smart receipt.

“Any student who is a beneficiary of the NELFUND loan and has already paid levies for the session fee is entitled to a refund.

“To apply for a refund, the student must write through the Dean of Students to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic, providing their account details for the refund. A photocopy of the original payment receipt must be attached to each application.”
