Beneficiaries like Chiamaka Oshite, Aisha Falalu, Khadija Sonibare, and Samuel Udeh shared how the financial support from NELFUND had enabled them to purchase textbooks, cover expenses, and focus on their studies without financial stress.
NELFUND's Managing Director, Akintunde Sawyerr, highlighted the program as a transformative initiative aimed at expanding access to higher education by removing financial barriers. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was also credited for his commitment to ensuring the program's success and sustainability.
