The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) says it is responding to prolonged delays in the payment of upkeep allowances under the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND). In statements reported by multiple outlets, NANS officials say they have received complaints from beneficiaries across the country about late or unpaid allowances. NANS warns that if the issue is not addressed urgently, students may take nationwide peaceful action. Proposed actions include organising a broad mass protest and, in one reported case, occupying NELFUND’s headquarters as part of the pressure campaign. NANS presents the delayed allowance payments as the central concern and frames its threat as a response meant to compel timely disbursement. The reports do not cite NELFUND or the relevant authorities providing a public explanation or timeline for resolving the delays at the time of publication. Overall, the coverage indicates NANS is escalating its response to the ongoing complaints about student upkeep allowance disbursement under NELFUND.
