The management of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, has refuted reports alleging that the institution has failed to refund tuition fees paid by beneficiaries of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund who had earlier paid their fees before the loan disbursement.
EKSU said in a statement issued by Gbenga Oluwajana on behalf of the Deputy Registrar/Head, Directorate of Information and Corporate Affairs, in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, that it “has been diligently refunding eligible students whose tuition fees were subsequently paid by NELFUND.”
Oluwajana stated, “The university, therefore, refutes claims suggesting that it has withheld refunds due to eligible students,” stressing that the institution would never engage in any act capable of undermining or frustrating the successful implementation of the NELFUND programme.
The President, National Association of Nigerian Students, Babatunde Akinteye, had, in a statement released on Wednesday, listed EKSU among institutions that had received tuition payments from NELFUND on behalf of qualified students but had yet to reimburse those who had settled their fees before the loan disbursement.
