The Provost of the institution, Dr. Gbonjubola Owolabi, made this known during a meeting with the management staff of the institution, on Friday.
Expressing the appreciation of the College to NELFUND, the Provost also congratulated the students on their success.
Dr Owolabi further said: “This is to inform the College that we received the loan funds for 75 students yesterday (Thursday).”
The Provost lauded the initiative, saying 78 students of the institution applied, while 75 benefitted from the loan programme.
“Our College is grateful to NELFUND for this support to our students. The College also congratulates these 75 students.
“This strategic effort aims to ensure that students who really need the funds can continue their education by lowering the burden of financial constraints,” she stated.
Dr. Gbonjubola said the loan beneficiaries will be invited to a meeting by the institution for appropriate documentation of students who applied in the 2025/2026 session.
