The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced the relocation of its headquarters to a new permanent office in Abuja, effective from Friday, September 5, 2025. The move, detailed in a statement by Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, NELFUND’s Director of Strategic Communications, marks a significant step in the agency’s efforts to enhance its operations while continuing to provide affordable education loans to Nigerian students.

The new headquarters is located at House 12, Plot 103/104, Monrovia Street, Wuse 2, opposite Bon Hotel, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). NELFUND has directed all official correspondence, visits, and inquiries to this new address, ensuring seamless communication with stakeholders. The agency emphasized that the relocation will not disrupt its services, reaffirming its commitment to supporting students across Nigeria.

“NELFUND remains fully operational and dedicated to its mandate of providing accessible education loans to Nigerian students,” the statement read. “We wish to assure the public that this relocation will not interrupt our services in any way.”

The agency also confirmed that its communication channels remain unchanged. Nigerians can continue to reach NELFUND via its official website (www.nelf.gov.ng), verified social media platforms (X: @nelfund; Instagram: @nelfund; Facebook and LinkedIn: Nigerian Education Loan Fund – NELFUND), and email (info@nelf.gov.ng). These platforms will continue to serve as key touchpoints for students and stakeholders seeking information or assistance.

NELFUND, established in 2023 by the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu, aims to broaden access to higher education by providing interest-free loans to students in tertiary institutions. The scheme is designed to alleviate financial barriers, with loan repayments scheduled to begin two years after beneficiaries complete the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme. Since its inception, NELFUND has worked to empower Nigerian youth by facilitating access to quality education, a critical driver of national development.

Expressing gratitude for public support, NELFUND reiterated its commitment to expanding access to higher education financing. “We appreciate your trust and continued support as we work to make education more accessible nationwide,” the statement concluded.

The relocation to a permanent office in Abuja underscores NELFUND’s growth and its determination to strengthen its operational base while delivering on its mission. As the agency settles into its new headquarters, it remains focused on ensuring that no Nigerian student is denied education due to financial constraints.
