GodsGift Hails Tinubu, Says Student Loan Support Made His Dream a Reality

… Officially a Corps Member! NELFUND Contributed to This Journey

Nwaorgu Chijioke GodsGift, a serving National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, is celebrating a remarkable milestone in his journey, which reflects determination, academic excellence and the impact of support received through the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

The former NELFUND beneficiary has celebrated his transition into the NYSC programme, openly acknowledging the role of the Federal Government’s student loan initiative in supporting his educational journey and helping him achieve this significant milestone.

Expressing heartfelt appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GodsGift applauded the President for introducing NELFUND, describing the initiative as a timely intervention that has given students from financially challenged backgrounds greater opportunities to pursue and complete their education.

Now officially a corps member, he urged Nigerian students struggling with the financial demands of higher education to take advantage of the NELFUND opportunity, stressing that financial difficulties should not stand in the way of their academic dreams.

He also dismissed circulating claims that NELFUND beneficiaries would be barred from travelling abroad after graduation until they repay their loans, describing the narrative as misleading. He encouraged students to disregard unverified information and seek clarification on loan conditions and repayment obligations through the Fund’s official communication channels.

GodsGift equally commended NELFUND’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr, for his leadership and commitment to advancing the Fund’s mandate of making higher education more accessible to Nigerian students.

His story is another inspiring example of the opportunities that student financing can create, particularly for young Nigerians who might otherwise struggle to meet the financial demands of tertiary education.

From receiving educational support as a NELFUND beneficiary to proudly wearing the NYSC uniform, GodsGift’s journey underscores the significance of investing in the education and future of Nigerian youths.

For him, the message is simple: NELFUND contributed to this journey, and today, he proudly wears the NYSC uniform.
