The National Association of University Students (NAUS) in Osun State has called on Vice-Chancellors and Provosts of tertiary institutions to provide detailed accounts of NELFUND disbursements.
Speaking at a press conference held in Osogbo, the Chairman of the National Association of University Students, Adeleke Samson, said there is a need for transparency and accountability in the process for the program’s success.
Samson pledged that the union would work to guarantee students receive the benefits they are entitled to under the scheme.
According to him, “One of the critical issues affecting our student community is the lack of transparency and accountability in the management of NELFUND disbursements.
“We demand that Vice-Chancellors and Provosts of tertiary institutions in Osun State provide a detailed account of NELFUND disbursements and expenditures. Transparency and accountability are essential in managing these funds, and we will ensure that students receive the benefits they are entitled to.
“As NAUS Chairman, I urge all Vice-Chancellors and Provosts to take immediate action to address this issue. We need to know how these funds are being utilized and what impact they are having on our students. We believe that transparency and accountability are essential for building trust and confidence in the management of NELFUND disbursements.
“We seek clarity on fund utilization and impact. Immediate action is necessary to build trust and confidence in NELFUND management,” he said.
