LAUTECH Reaffirms Strong Partnership with NELFUND, Clarifies Loan Disbursement Update The management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology has reaffirmed its cordial and productive relationship with the Nigerian Education Loan Fund following recent media interpretations regarding student loan disbursements. In a statement, the university expressed appreciation for NELFUND’s continued support, noting that more than ₦1.4 billion was successfully disbursed to its students in 2025. According to the institution, the intervention significantly reduced financial burdens and improved access to education for many students. Speaking during a pre-convocation press briefing, the university explained that about 19,000 students applied for the NELFUND scheme, while over 15,000 applications have already been verified in line with established procedures. The management further disclosed that within the current 2025/2026 academic session, a total of 5,237 students have been approved and are awaiting disbursement, while other verified applications remain at various stages of processing.

At no time did LAUTECH suggest any reluctance or failure on the part of NELFUND,” the statement said. The institution added that its intention was solely to highlight progress made so far and reassure stakeholders that the disbursement process remains ongoing and on course. LAUTECH reiterated its commitment to sustaining its partnership with NELFUND and other relevant stakeholders to ensure students continue to receive the financial support needed to pursue their academic goals.

In a remarkable display of academic excellence, beneficiaries of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) sponsorship initiative by community leader and philanthropist, Femi Onireti, have recorded outstanding performances in the recently released results.

Earlier this year, Onireti sponsored JAMB registration for about 100 students across the five local government areas of Ogbomoso land, reaffirming his commitment to youth empowerment through education.

According to the results, 34 of the sponsored candidates scored 200 and above, with Olarinde Love Olayemi emerging as the highest scorer with an impressive 326. Additionally, three other candidates also surpassed the 300-mark, showcasing the impact of timely educational support and encouragement.

Speaking on the development, Onireti expressed his joy at the students’ performance and reiterated his promise to provide financial assistance and mentorship to those who secure university admission in the current academic session.

“This initiative is born out of my belief that no hardworking student should be denied access to quality education due to financial limitations. Education remains the most powerful tool for true and lasting community development,” he said.

Onireti reaffirmed his dedication to supporting indigent students across Ogbomoso, stressing that youth education and empowerment are at the heart of his community development vision.

With this gesture, Onireti continues to inspire a new generation of scholars and leaders from Ogbomoso land, fostering hope and progress through education.
