The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, has suggested that some students may have received funding from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund without their parents’ knowledge.
Oyedele made the remark while responding to an audience member who said his three children in school had not received NELFUND funding and were unaware of any friends who had received the financial support.
Speaking at a media briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, Oyedele urged the journalist to ask his children whether they had applied for the scheme and to demand evidence of their applications.
“It is possible they’ve collected the money, and they are collecting from you,” the minister said.
