NELFUND has stated that it has no connection with this website or any similar schemes.

It wrote, ”The organisation’s mission is exclusively to provide educational loans to eligible Nigerian students for their studies within Nigeria.

NELFUND does not offer visa sponsorships or related services, and any claims suggesting otherwise are entirely false and misleading.
