Bayero University, Kano (BUK) has reopened the application portal for the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) for the 2025/2026 academic year, offering eligible students a final chance to apply.
The announcement came through a special bulletin released on Saturday in Kano, signed by the Director of Public Affairs, Lamara Garba, on behalf of the Registrar. Garba noted that the management’s request prompted the portal’s reopening, allowing qualified students to benefit from the program.
According to Garba, this is the last opportunity for students who have already completed their screening to start and finish their applications for both institutional charges and upkeep. The application window runs from May 8 to May 29, and all eligible students are urged to take this seriously.
Garba emphasized that applicants must adhere strictly to the instructions and upload necessary documents without mistakes to avoid delays or rejection. He also stated that applications for institutional charges and upkeep must be submitted together, as separate submissions may not be considered.
Furthermore, students were cautioned against using microfinance wallet accounts during the process. Garba added that applicants should ensure their email addresses are correct and accessible, and passwords must be kept safe for future portal access and status tracking.
BUK encourages all eligible students to seize this opportunity and complete their applications before the May 29 deadline to avoid missing out on the NELFUND scheme.
