Oyo State College of Nursing Sciences has urged all fresh intakes into the institution to apply for the student loan from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).
The college’s provost, Dr Gbonjubola Owolabi, said the loan would make life easier for the students and help them concentrate on their education.
Speaking with the new intakes at the college at the weekend, the provost hinted that the federal government through NELFUND provided student loans.
Owolabi stated that accessing a loan was a simple step away for loanees as the NELFUND loans create no barriers to any higher educational qualification.
While urging the students to take advantage of the scheme, Owolabi stressed that the institution would continue to partner with NELFUND to make tertiary education accessible and affordable to its students.
The provost further noted that the initiative was a huge relief for both parents and students who were into self-sponsorship, emphasising that with NELFUND, the worries of school fees would be a thing of the past.
“This is an intervention to cushion the effect of economic hardship on students. The management of this institution has decided that every new student must apply and access it to further make student life easy for you,” she said.
