Nigerian citizens recruited by the Nigerian Education Loan Fund in 2025 have lamented their inability to assume duties nearly 18 months after completing their documentation, despite receiving letters of appointment from the agency.
The affected employees, numbering several dozen, said repeated appeals to the management of NELFUND and relevant government officials had yielded no result, leaving many of them stranded after resigning from previous jobs in anticipation of resumption.
What began as a moment of celebration and hope, they said, has gradually turned into a prolonged period of uncertainty, financial hardship and emotional distress.
Some of the affected workers told The PUNCH that they left paid employment immediately after receiving their appointment letters, while others informed their families of a new beginning, expecting to resume work within weeks.
Instead, they have spent more than a year waiting for a resumption date that has yet to be communicated.
