A video of our university students celebrating their monthly NELFUND upkeep allowance to the tune of Omo Ologo. And yet some people, from the comfort of their air-conditioned rooms, dismissed both the need for and the impact of NELFUND. Students have dropped out of school over what others consider a “paltry” ₦10,000, while many more have had to sacrifice their studies to survive through side hustles. The story of LAUTECH’s 2026 best graduating student, whose GPA had been slipping before the NELFUND intervention but turned into a run of straight As afterwards, speaks volumes. Not everyone experiences the world through the same privileges or circumstances. Stop looking at the world through your rose-coloured lenses.
