FULOKOJA SUG Gives Update On NELFUND Registration

The Student Union Government (SUG) of Federal University Lokoja has issued an important update to students who applied for the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

According to the notice, students whose school fees portal is still reflecting ₦5,000 for late registration should note that the issue is a system glitch. University Management is currently working to rectify the error.

EducationNGR gathered from the NELFUND Desk Officer that the names of all applicants are presently being processed to enable the reopening of their portals for course registration.

Advisory To Students With “Disbursed” Status

Students whose portal status shows “Disbursed” have been strongly advised not to make any school fees payment, even if they have the funds available.

The SUG clarified that:

  • “Disbursed” means the school fees have already been credited to the University Management.

  • There is no need for duplicate payment.

Students are urged to remain calm while the processing and system corrections are finalised.

SUG Assures Continued Engagement

The Student Union Government reaffirmed its commitment to student welfare, stating that it has remained proactive in engaging relevant regulatory bodies and authorities to ensure all NELFUND-related concerns are properly addressed.

In a move to strengthen security and regulate access to its premises, Rivers State University (RSU) has announced the full enforcement of its identity card policy for all staff and students.

According to an internal memorandum signed by the Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Enforcement of the Use of Identity Cards, Engr. Prof. A. H. Igoni, the enforcement will officially commence on Monday, 9th March, 2026. The directive follows an earlier notice issued in February by the Acting Registrar, Dr. Idanyingi I. Daminabo.

EducationNGR learnt that the university has granted a one-week grace period to allow members of the university community to comply before strict enforcement begins.

“No Identity Card, No Entry” Policy

From the effective date, the university will implement a strict “No Identity Card, No Entry” policy across both its main and satellite campuses.

Key aspects of the enforcement include:

  • Mandatory visible display of ID cards at all times while on campus

  • Security personnel authorised to escort defaulters off the premises

  • Lecturers instructed to deny entry to students without ID cards in lecture halls

  • Enforcement teams to conduct spot checks in lecture halls and offices

Anyone found without a valid university identity card will be barred from entering the campus.

Directives For Visitors And Non-Staff

Visitors and non-staff members will also be required to:

  • Clearly identify themselves

  • State their purpose for visiting the campus

Failure to comply may result in being escorted out of the university premises.

Processing Of Identity Cards

Management has advised staff and students who are yet to obtain their ID cards to visit the Information and Communication Technology Centre (ICTC) immediately for processing. The university assured that ID cards will be ready for collection within three working days.

The university management appealed for full cooperation, warning that failure to comply will attract the full enforcement of the directive.

GOMSU SRC Raises Alarm Over Hostel Allocation Scam Targeting Freshers

The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of Gombe State University has raised an alarm over a fraudulent scheme targeting students, particularly freshers, by an individual posing as an agent for hostel allocation.

In a statement issued by the SRC, the Council disclosed that an unknown person has been contacting students through phone calls, demanding money under the false pretence of securing hostel accommodation. The suspect allegedly claims to be working in collaboration with the university’s ICT unit in an attempt to lend credibility to the scam.

EducationNGR gathered that the fraudulent calls are primarily directed at newly admitted students who may be unfamiliar with the institution’s official accommodation procedures.

Official Clarification On Hostel Allocation

The SRC, in consultation with the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, clarified that:

  • No individual has been authorised to sell or allocate hostel spaces unofficially.

  • All hostel allocations are processed strictly through the official university portal.

  • Payments are made exclusively via the student dashboard.

Students were strongly advised not to make payments to any person promising hostel accommodation outside the approved system.

Any request involving payment into personal bank accounts or through unofficial channels should be treated as fraudulent.

Call For Vigilance And Reporting

Authorities have urged students who have received such calls or fallen victim to the scheme to report immediately with relevant details, including phone numbers used by the suspect, to assist in investigations.

The SRC further called on all students to remain vigilant and rely solely on official communication channels of Gombe State University for accurate and verified information.
