The Vice Chancellor of Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, Edo State, Professor Eunice Omonzejie, was issued a query over the failure of students of the university to access the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).
The query addressed to the vice chancellor by the state Ministry of Education, and dated June 24, 2026, was signed by P. O. Omionawele, on behalf of the Permanent Secretary of the ministry.
The letter titled ‘Imple-mentation of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND)’ expressed worry that records available to the ministry showed that in the 2025/2026 academic session, no student from the school had benefited from the N242 billion disbursed so far by the Federal Government of Nigeria for the NELFUND programme.
