The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has clarified that the allocation of its funds is not influenced by geopolitical zones.

This statement was made in response to concerns raised after NELFUND announced the disbursement of N2.94 billion to 19 universities, benefiting a total of 27,667 students.

The list of recipient universities sparked controversy, as none of the institutions in the South-East and South-South regions were included. This led to criticism from some Nigerians who questioned the fairness of the distribution process.

However, NELFUND emphasized that its disbursement criteria are based on need and eligibility rather than regional considerations, assuring the public that all qualified institutions and students will have equal opportunities to access the funds.
