With the South-east still lagging behind in the students loan scheme set up by the federal government, Abia State has initiated plan to carry out sensitisation programme on the merits of the National Education Loan Funds (NELFUND).
Governor Alex Otti made this known weekend when he received in audience a delegation of NELFUND led by Director, Regional Advocacy, Nneamaka Okafor, saying that adequate advocacy was needed to stimulate students’ interest in the education loans.
He said that if students and their parents were properly informed about the loan scheme more students in tertiary institutions would likely key into the programme and access the available loan to fund their education.
