The Nigerian Education Loan Fund has warned students and the public to remain vigilant against rising scams targeting its interest-free student loan programme.

The warning follows the circulation of a fraudulent notice claiming the existence of a new 2026 registration portal.

In a post on its X handle on Thursday, the Fund urged Nigerians to verify all links and rely exclusively on its verified channels to avoid falling victim to misinformation and potential scams.

The suspicious notice claimed that, due to constraints faced by students, President Bola Tinubu directed the opening of the portal.

It also promoted a dubious link as an official portal for student loan registration and cash transfers, which NELFUND described as fraudulent.
