Subject: Request for Update on NELFUND Loan Application
Dear Sir/Madam,
We applied for the NELFUND loan for the 2025/2026 academic session since December, but we have not received any update. Our institutional fees have been verified, and the upkeep allowance has not been paid, yet there has been no progress.
Despite several visits to our school desk officer, no information has been provided for nearly three weeks. If the program is not guaranteed, kindly inform us.
We respectfully request an urgent update on our application status.
Yours faithfully,
Concerned Students
