The Nigeria===Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has clarified recent public statements regarding the disbursement of student loans to beneficiaries of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH). Contrary to claims of over 15,000 students awaiting disbursement, NELFUND stated that LAUTECH submitted a batch of 5,237 students, which has been processed and approved, and is currently in the final stages of disbursement. This batch represents a significant financial commitment of ₦1,571,544,300.00.

Both NELFUND and LAUTECH urged caution in public communication to avoid creating unnecessary anxiety and undermining confidence in the national intervention.
