Alleged diversion of student loans by NELFUND

On a motion by Aliyu Mustapha Abdullahi (PDP, Kaduna), the House of Representatives mandated its committees to investigate the alleged diversion, non-disclosure and mismanagement of student loans disbursed by the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, after a National Orientation Agency report alleged collusion between some tertiary institutions and financial institutions to delay, divert or conceal disbursements, and to report within four weeks. Over ₦54 billion had been disbursed. The House directed institutions to refund students who paid fees before their loans arrived.
