BAYERO UNIVERSITY, KANO (BUK) ISSUES IMPORTANT NOTICE TO NELFUND BENEFICIARIES

The Management of Bayero University, Kano (BUK), through the Directorate of Public Affairs, has released a high-priority circular to address growing concerns and pervasive misinformation regarding the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND). Signed by the Director of Public Affairs, Lamara Garba, mnipr, the statement provides a definitive roadmap for both returning and newly admitted students concerning their monthly upkeep allowances and the 2025/2026 application cycle.

This communication serves to synchronize student expectations with the official NELFUND operational calendar and the university’s internal administrative procedures.

1. CLARIFICATION ON MONTHLY UPKEEP ALLOWANCE
The University has noted confusion regarding the payment of student stipends. To set the record straight, the following points have been established:

Responsibility: The sole authority for the disbursement of monthly upkeep allowances is NELFUND. While BUK provides institutional guidance and data verification, the actual payment does not originate from the university’s coffers.

The 2024/2025 Cycle: In line with the NELFUND official calendar (January to December), the upkeep allowance for the 2024/2025 session officially concluded in December 2025.

Current Status: There are no outstanding payments for the previous session. Students are encouraged to monitor their individual loan dashboards for updated payment records and history.

2025/2026 Commencement: Stipends for the new session will only begin after the completion of the mandatory “Four-Step” process: Data Upload → Application Processing → Verification → Disbursement of Institutional Charges.

2. UPDATES ON THE LOAN APPLICATION PROCESS
The University is working closely with the federal fund to ensure no eligible student is disenfranchised due to technical hurdles.

Automatic Migration: Returning students who successfully benefited from the scheme during the last session have been automatically migrated to the Students Loan Application System (SLAS) for the 2025/2026 session. No fresh data upload is required for this category.

Manual Data Uploads: For newly admitted students of the 2024/2025 session, BUK acknowledged that portal technicalities prevented many from being captured initially. Consequently, the University has commenced manual uploads to bypass these glitches and ensure all eligible names are on the NELFUND portal.

Deadline Extension: In a significant win for the student body, BUK has secured an extension for the loan application. The new closing date is now April 15, 2026.

3. OFFICIAL SUPPORT AND ENQUIRY CHANNELS
To prevent the spread of “fake news” and misleading instructions, students encountering difficulties are strictly advised to use only the following verified channels:

Technical Issues: Visit the NELFUND Official Portal and raise a Support Ticket.

Institutional Assistance: Email the BUK NELFUND Desk Office directly via [email protected].

General Information: Rely solely on bulletins signed by the Directorate of Public Affairs.
