ELFUND Partners Senator Gbenga Daniel To Drive Student Loan Awareness in Ogun East
The Nigerian Education Loans Fund (NELFUND) has intensified its grassroots sensitisation efforts in Ogun State, partnering with Senator Gbenga Daniel to expand public awareness of the federal government’s student loan scheme across Ogun East.
The engagement took place in Ijebu North Local Government Area as part of the senator’s Mid-Term Community Assessment and Review Tour, drawing community leaders, youth groups, parents, and prospective student beneficiaries.
Speaking during the event on Sunday, NELFUND Managing Director/Chief Executive, Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr, said the initiative is part of its “drive to deepen government and community-level engagement” and to strengthen collaboration across key structures nationwide.
He noted that the session “forms part of our broader commitment to strengthen partnerships across federal, state and community structures,” adding that it helps ensure “that NELFUND’s mandate is well understood, properly aligned, and effectively delivered to the beneficiaries we serve.”
According to Mr Sawyeer, the discussions “reinforced the centrality of our mission and the critical role NELFUND plays in expanding access to tertiary education financing nationwide.”
Reaffirming its nationwide reach, the NELFUND boss said the agency “remains firmly committed to taking its mandate to every community, ensuring that every eligible Nigerian who needs this loan can access it without barriers. Our goal is simple: no Nigerian student should be left behind.”
The NELFUND delegation at the engagement included its Managing Director/Chief Executive, Mr. Akintunde Sawyerr; Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Dr. Fred Femi Akinfala; Director of SERVICOM, Mr. Sola Fowobaje; Director of Strategic Communications, Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi; as well as Mr. Yomi Gbadamosi, PA to the MD/CE, and Mr. Festus Adefehinti, PA to the EDFA.
