  • NELFUND pays April upkeep allowance to loan beneficiaries

    NELFUND pays April upkeep allowance to loan beneficiaries

    • 995 Adeyemi varsity students apply for N68m loan

    The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has started the disbursement of April upkeep payments to eligible students across the country.

    The agency announced this in a statement by its Director of Strategic Communications, Mrs. Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, yesterday in Abuja.

    It explained that while most payments had been successfully processed, a small number of beneficiaries may experience a delay due to the recent upgrade of its payment and application processing system.

    The statement added: “NELFUND is working closely with relevant stakeholders to resolve these issues promptly and ensure that all eligible students receive their entitlements without further delay.

    “We remain committed to transparency, operational excellence, and the timely delivery of student support in alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda.

    “We appreciate the patience and cooperation of all stakeholders as we continue to improve service delivery for the benefit of Nigerian students.”

    Also, over 995 students of Adeyemi University of Education (AFUED) in Ondo State have applied for N68,316,200 from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

    The acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Samuel Akintunde, who spoke at a pre-convocation media briefing to announce the 61st Foundation Day and the 35th convocation ceremony of the university, said the institution was still expecting the fund from NELFUND.

    Akintunde said funding was a major challenge to the institution, announcing that the university spent N26 million monthly on electricity bills.

    The vice chancellor said the convocation lecture, titled: The Advent of Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Nigeria’s Tertiary Education, would be delivered by Prof. Toyin Falola, a Professor of African Studies at the University of Texas in Austin, U.S.A.

    He said honorary doctorate degrees would be conferred on the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu; the Osemawe of Ondo, Oba Victor Kiladejo, the Osemawe, and Prof. Falola.

    He said: “We paid about N26 m monthly for electricity. That is aside from the amount we expend on a monthly basis on diesel. We used 5000 litres of diesel within two weeks, so we have the problem of funding.

    “We have prioritised the welfare of both staff and students through improved working conditions, scholarship, and support for research grants in spite of funding challenges.

    “Enhanced security measures have been implemented to ensure the safety of our students and staff within and around the campus.”

    “As we prepare to celebrate our graduating students, we remain committed to the vision of making AFUED a world-class institution for teacher education and research. We are optimistic about the future and will continue to pursue excellence in all areas of our operations.

    “We are expecting the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) of N68,316,200 with 995 students who have applied for it,” he added.

  • Southeast Reps Caucus demands outright cancellation of 2025 UTME

    Southeast Reps Caucus demands outright cancellation of 2025 UTME

    The Southeast Caucus in the House of Representatives has called for the outright cancellation of this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME) over the technical glitches that affected some students during the examination.

    The caucus also called for the resignation of the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, for what it called a “catastrophic institutional failure” in the conduct of the examination.

    In a statement yesterday in Abuja by its Leader, Igariwey Iduma Enwo, the caucus said: “Last week, particularly on May 14, 2025, the Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, made a shocking public admission that due to a ‘technical glitch’ at some examination centres during the 2025 UTME, approximately 379,997 out of 1.9 million candidates would be required to retake the examination.

    “As a caucus, we are deeply concerned as all five Southeastern states we represent were directly affected by these so-called ‘score distortions.’

    “Over the past week, we have exercised restraint, hoping that JAMB would provide effective remedial measures to address what is clearly a catastrophic institutional failure, one that has severely shaken public trust and the confidence of students and their families nationwide.

    “The caucus calls for immediate cancellation of the 2025 UTME and the fixing of a new date, preferably after WAEC and NECO examinations, to ensure that no student is disadvantaged.”

    The caucus also demanded “the suspension of key officials responsible for JAMB’s digital operations and logistics”.

    Acknowledging Oloyede’s public admission of the failure, the lawmakers said accountability must go beyond apologies, adding that his resignation would allow for a thorough, independent review of the failure and restore public confidence in the examination body.

    The Southeast Reps caucus reminded JAMB of its constitutional duty to guarantee equal and adequate educational opportunities for all Nigerian children, a responsibility it said had clearly been violated in this instance.

    The caucus added: “While we acknowledge Prof. Oloyede’s openness in admitting JAMB’s failures, we must state unequivocally that the remedial steps taken so far fall drastically short of our constituents’ expectations.

    “JAMB’s knee-jerk, fire-brigade approach has been anything but adequate. Students in the Southeast — many of whom are currently writing their WAEC examinations — were given less than 48 hours’ notice to appear for the rescheduled UTME.

    “Reports indicate that this notice was grossly inadequate, resulting in low turnout. In some cases, the rescheduled UTME clashed directly with ongoing WAEC papers, compounding the distress and confusion for students and their families.

    “We must remind Nigerians that JAMB, as a government agency, is duty-bound to uphold the fundamental obligations of government to its citizens. The framers of our Constitution recognised the central role of education in national development.”

     Section 18(1) of the 1999 Constitution clearly states: ‘Government shall direct its policy towards ensuring that there are equal and adequate educational opportunities at all levels.’

    “By recent judicial pronouncements, this provision now constitutes an enforceable right for every Nigerian child. Sadly, for the thousands of students across the Southeast, the flawed and tainted conduct of the 2025 UTME has effectively denied them that right to equal and adequate educational opportunities.”

  • NGO, FCT education secretariat unveil sexual violence reporting framework for schools

    NGO, FCT education secretariat unveil sexual violence reporting framework for schools

    A non-governmental organisation, Teenage Network in collaboration with the Federal Capital Territory Education Secretariat have unveiled the sexual violence reporting and management framework for schools in the nation’s capital.

    The unveiling, which was done by the Mandate Secretary, FCT Education Secretariat, Dr Danlami Hayyo, was attended by All Nigeria Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS); National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) Parent Teachers Association (PTA); International Non-governmental Organisations (INGOs); Civil Society Organisations; school administrators, students and the media.

    Executive Director, Teenage Network, Olanike Timipa – Uge said the framework would create a safer and more supportive learning environment for learners across the over 2,000 public and private schools in the FCT.

    She said: “Every child deserves to learn in an environment free from fear and violence. The framework is a testament to the FCT education secretariat and Teenage Network’s commitment to protecting learners and creating a culture of zero tolerance for sexual violence in schools.

    “It is a simplified and comprehensive document which was developed by the FCT Education Secretariat with support from Teenage Network, an adolescent – serving non-profit leading gender transformative education advocacy in Nigeria and the African Women Development Fund (AWDF).

    Timipa – Uge explained that the framework was designed over a period of 18 months after series of consultations and review with stakeholders on the existing sexual violence- related documents in Nigeria.

    During the period, she said the organisation discovered that 62 per cent of girls who experienced sexual violence in schools didn’t report it.

    “We also found out that a lot of sexual violence didn’t happen within the school walls,” she said.

    “We all have a role to play to ensure that our schools are safe for learners,” she added.

    Mandate Secretary, FCT Education Secretariat, Dr Danlami Hayyo urged parents to monitor their children.

    Hayyo, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, FCT Education Secretariat, Joy Okeke said: “The document is aimed at promoting a safe learning environment. The FCT administration has taken steps by creating gender desks in schools in the FCT.”

    Following the low pass rate recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), many students across the country have been left anxious and uncertain about their next steps. The disappointing results have sparked widespread concern, especially among candidates who had high hopes of gaining admission into top-tier institutions. With cut-off marks likely to be affected and competition for available slots even tighter, students are now reassessing their options and exploring alternative institutions and courses they might not have initially considered.

    As the admission season approaches, questions about school choices, catchment areas, and departmental requirements have become top of mind for students and parents alike. Many are turning to educational consultants, online forums, and career guidance counselors in search of reliable advice. For some, the focus has shifted from prestigious universities to more accessible polytechnics and colleges of education, while others are considering taking a gap year to prepare for the next UTME cycle. The uncertainty has created a sense of urgency, as students scramble to secure a spot in any institution that matches their scores and career aspirations.

  • 2025 UTME: Software glitch, not Oloyede, to blame for poor performance — Ilaro Poly Rector

    2025 UTME: Software glitch, not Oloyede, to blame for poor performance — Ilaro Poly Rector

    The Rector of Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Dr. Mukail Akinde, has attributed the low performance of candidates in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to software malfunctions, not the fault of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede.

    Speaking with reporters in his office over the weekend, Akinde emphasised that no human-made technology is flawless. 

    He urged Nigerians to acknowledge the inevitability of Computer-Based Tests (CBT), noting that such systems are susceptible to occasional technical issues.

    The rector commended Professor Oloyede’s efforts to improve Nigeria’s education system and eliminate long-standing examination malpractices.

    He added that while the percentage of candidates scoring between 160 and 199 (50.29%) might appear high, it is not unusual and should be viewed in context.

    According to Akinde, the overall conduct of UTME has seen significant improvement under the current JAMB leadership.

    “The performance of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) over years before Prof Oloyede from 2018 to 2024 on the average, of candidates who scored between 139 to 119 was 78.3%.

    “For us in academics, we talk with statistics, this year’s result is not a failure, it was a good result.

    “Now about technology, there is no fully satisfied technology in the whole world. You are talking about an automated centre, software can malfunction at any time without human intervention.

    “You will recall that when Professor Oloyede came in as the Executive Registrar of JAMB, his intervention has been to redirect JAMB in ensuring that candidates are exposed to modern technology, not only that, the examination body which was at the verge of been scrapped due to its level of ridiculous irregularity has become something that is not common again.

    “Moreso, the Registrar, Professor Oloyede has taken full responsibility, for the first time, I am seeing in this country that we have a leader, even though the glitches were minor, he has taken responsibility unlike leaders in Africa who were known for shifting blame.

    “Not only that, he has given such candidates the opportunity to rewrite the examination.

    “Before this incident, I am aware Nigerians were all proud of Professor Ishaq Oloyede because he was able to reposition JAMB to be an Institution that is one of the best in Nigeria, so, now that the so-called glitch occurs, it is naivety on the part of some people to call for his sanction.

    “For us at the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, considering the cumulative performance of the Registrar, yes it’s painful that some candidates were affected, the good news is that Professor Ishaq Oloyede has also given the opportunity to this set of candidates to rewrite the examination.”

     Dr. Akinde, however, dismissed claims that the poor performance of many candidates in the 2025 UTME was due to unfamiliarity with computer operations. 

    He argued that such claims hold little merit, noting that candidates were adequately prepared through mock examinations and that detailed instructions were displayed on their computer screens during the test.

    “There were no ambiguities,” Dr. Akinde stated. “Candidates were given step-by-step guidelines, and they had no choice but to read and understand them before attempting the questions.”

    Corroborating this, Mr. Ismail Odeyemi, who oversaw the CBT centre at the Polytechnic, explained that the examination interface was designed to be user-friendly. 

    He said candidates were prompted multiple times before final submission, and trained supervisors were on hand to assist anyone facing technical difficulties.

    “JAMB has simplified the process. Each candidate had access to a keyboard and mouse. When an option is selected, the corresponding alphabet changes colour from red to green—it’s self-explanatory,” Odeyemi said. “In addition, rough answer sheets were provided with clearly written instructions.”

    Frank Ajibodu, the institution’s technical officer, added that JAMB mandated a five-minute orientation at the start of each session, during which supervisors guided candidates on how to navigate the interface, select answers, and submit their responses.

    He attributed some of the challenges to exam anxiety, commonly known as “examiphobia”, a condition that, he said, predates the CBT era and also existed during the traditional paper-and-pencil method.

    Concluding, Dr. Akinde urged parents to take a more active role in supervising their children’s study habits. 

    He advised against secondary school students owning mobile phones, stressing that time spent on devices should instead be dedicated to academic preparation.

  • NELFUND to expand loan programme to vocational skills centres

    NELFUND to expand loan programme to vocational skills centres

    • To open portal for applications for vocation, skills training

    The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has said the expansion of its loan programme to vocational skills centres across the country would commence in  six to eight week’s time.

    Managing Director of NELFUND, Akintunde Sawyerr explained that the vocational training support  through loans, was aimed at helping individuals access technical education at various skill centres, including fashion design and other skills.

    Speaking at a strategic engagement and sensitisation campaign on operations of NELFUND in Enugu State, Sawyerr disclosed that Enugu was pencilled down as one of the states to kick-off the skills acquisition and vocational training support.

    He said: “We are working on it now, and we’re going to have some discussions with the executive governor and his team, because we want to start it here.

    “The president has also instructed that we focus on areas where the governments or the institutions of state and instruments are ready to work with us, so that we can have a quick takeoff. I think that within the next six to eight weeks, you will see us kick something off.”

    Meanwhile, during a tour of the Enugu Garments and Fashion Hub on Friday, NELFUND’s Executive Director Operations, Mr. Iyal Mustapha, said of over 10 states equipped with vocational and skills training facilities, Enugu had the best.

    He stated: “Presently we have other states, almost more than 10 states that we have seen such but then, Enugu is one of the best.

    “Enugu is going to be one of the first states or one of the first locations we are looking at to start. With what I see, there is a lot of positivity.

    “We have seen different skill centers from technical colleges to vocational skill centers like fashion design and they are all  very positive for us at NELFUND. I would not say that Enugu will be the only state but one of the first states to start with.”

    Mustapha explained that NELFUND, just like the student loan component of its mandate, would open its portal up for those interested in acquiring training in either of the various forms of vocation and skills, to apply.

    According to him, the loan programme would cover training costs, provide upkeep support and supply beneficiaries with tools after the training.

    “We are going to have these centers in place to say if you apply from Enugu this is where to go in Enugu. We are going to pay for their training costs, we are going to be giving them upkeep and at the end of the day, they will have some working tools when they finish their training,” he added.

    On how much upkeep NELFUND would grant beneficiaries under this category, Mustapha said: “We are still trying to complete that into our guideline. The training costs are based on what the centre is proposing, that’s what we are paying but the institutional charges are going to be part of the loan because it’s to support them with the transport coming to these skill centres.

    “It’s a work in progress and the country is always evolving. The government is seeing the value in skills and vocation just to support the community.”

  • JAMB Registrar Oloyede, lauded for transparency over 2025 UTME glitches

    JAMB Registrar Oloyede, lauded for transparency over 2025 UTME glitches

    The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Equal Opportunity Group (JEOG) has declared full support for the Registrar of JAMB, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, following his public address on the controversy surrounding the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.

    In a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja by its chairman, Emeritus Professor Peter A. Okebukola, JEOG praised the Registrar for his “candour, courage, and transparency” in responding to public concerns and in detailing the technical errors that affected some examination centres.

    “On behalf of JEOG, I extend our heartfelt solidarity and unwavering support to the Registrar, the entire JAMB leadership, and all candidates affected by the recent developments. We commend the Registrar’s integrity and accountability in addressing the matter,” Okebukola said.

    Recently, JAMB had announced that over 379,000 candidates were affected by technical disruptions during the 2025 UTME.

    READ ALSO: FULL LIST: World’s 11 most powerful passports in 2025

    Professor Oloyede, in a press briefing on May 14, took responsibility for the glitches, issued a public apology, and announced that the affected candidates would have their exams rescheduled.

    JEOG described the move as a demonstration of fairness and transparency in Nigeria’s educational assessment process.

    “The decision to admit the oversight and initiate remedial action reflects the best ideals of public service and accountability,” the group stated.

    The statement also noted the Board’s coordination with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to reduce possible conflicts for candidates writing concurrent exams, and lauded JAMB’s efforts to prevent undue disadvantage to any candidate.

    While acknowledging the distress faced by the affected students and their families, JEOG called on them to accept the apology and explanation in good faith.

    “We stand with you during this challenging period,” the group said.

    As a key player in JAMB’s quality assurance framework, JEOG emphasized that the errors were not reflective of a systemic failure but rather an isolated instance of human fallibility.

    The group also reiterated its pride in JAMB’s inclusive education policies, especially the Registrar’s efforts in promoting access to tertiary education for persons with disabilities.

    “We are confident that this episode will ultimately strengthen public trust in JAMB. Let this serve as a reminder that while human systems may falter, our collective resolve to uphold justice and equity in education must never waver,” Okebukola said.

  • NANS urges FG to intervene in FUOYE management crisis

    NANS urges FG to intervene in FUOYE management crisis

    The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called for the immediate intervention of the Federal Ministry of Education in the crisis at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Ekiti State.

    NANS made the demand during a joint protest by the National Association of University Students (NAUS) at the Federal Ministry of Education, Abuja.

    National Public Relations Officer of NANS, Samson Adeyemi, said that the students would continue to occupy the Ministry until the Minister of Education, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, resolves the festering crisis at the university.

    He disclosed that the university was engulfed in crisis following sexual harassment allegations levelled against the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abayomi Sunday Fasina and the systemic protection of sexual offenders and silencing of victims.

    According to NANS, the crisis was exacerbated following the suspension of a lecturer, Dr. Ngozi Ole and leaders of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) over their stand on the corrupt allegations and sexual harassment in the university.

    Adeyemi said, “The Federal Ministry of Education must understand that the protest has already begun. We are no longer pleading. We are demanding justice.

    “We will occupy the Federal Ministry of Education, the National Universities Commission (NUC), and the National Assembly every week. These protests will continue until the Honourable Minister of Education takes bold, courageous, and irreversible steps to right these wrongs.”

    NANS spokesperson called for the establishment of an independent and non-partisan investigative panel to review all cases of sexual harassment and staff victimisation at FUOYE.

    Adeyemi said that the Nigerian student community would not retreat until justice was done.

    He called on civil society organisations, human rights groups, the media, and every Nigerian of conscience to support this cause, saying the time has come to rescue FUOYE and to protect Nigerian students.
