Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has instructed all newly admitted students to access the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) as a means of financial support for their academic journey.
This decision, according to the university’s management, is aimed at easing the financial burden on students, enabling them to focus entirely on their studies.
During the institution’s 18th Matriculation Ceremony held on Friday, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Clement Adebooye, emphasized the Federal Government’s commitment to supporting education through the NELFUND initiative.
He stated: “This is an intervention to cushion the effect of economic hardship on students. The management has mandated every new student to apply for this loan to make their academic life easier.”
Prof. Adebooye further disclosed that the institution received over 30,000 applications for admission, out of which only 11,000 candidates were admitted into various academic programs across the university’s campuses.
He Urged the matriculating students to uphold the university’s core values of integrity, discipline, and moral uprightness, urging them to steer clear of social vices such as:
– Examination malpractice
– Cultism
– Indecent dressing
– Drug abuse
– Sexual harassment
– Truancy
