This significant funding is set to provide crucial financial support to undergraduate students at the university, helping to reduce the financial burdens they face while pursuing their studies.
With this allocation, FUBK has emerged as the highest recipient of NELFUND’s disbursement, reflecting the university’s strong commitment to fostering quality education for its students. The funds are expected to ease the financial challenges faced by many students, ensuring that they have the opportunity to focus on their academic pursuits without the constant worry of tuition fees and related expenses.
This generous disbursement is part of a broader effort by the Nigerian government to make higher education more accessible through the provision of loans and grants.
