The following instructions are necessary;

- An FSB official will visit the University to provide further directives starting from Monday, 25th August.

Awardees are implored to have the following documents ready;

- JAMB Admission Letter
- State of Origin Certificate
- CGPA Result
- Course Form
- Birth Certificate
- School ID Card
- NIN (National Identification Number) (VERY IMPORTANT)

Your prompt cooperation is essential to the success of this exercise. We urge all awardees to prepare the necessary documents and be available for the verification.

ANNOUNCING E-CLEARANCE FOR GRADUATING STUDENTS

We are pleased to announce that the e-Clearance portal for the 2024/2025 graduating class is now open. This initiative is part of the University's efforts to streamline the graduation process for final-year students. The portal was earlier activated to allow graduands to view their graduation status, while the convocation payment process also commenced.

The total convocation fee has been set at ₦61,750, a reduction from the previous year's ₦65,000. The breakdown of the fees is as follows:
- Certificate: ₦10,000
- Transcript: ₦10,000
- Gown: ₦5,000
- T-shirt: ₦10,000
- Order of Proceedings: ₦15,000
- Muffler: ₦2,750
- NYSC ID Card: ₦1,500
- Service Charge: ₦7,500

Graduating students are advised to make payments strictly as instructed on the portal and upload the required documents and receipts to the e-Clearance system. This will ensure a smooth clearance experience. We encourage all final-year students to commence the e-Clearance process early to avoid last-minute congestion.

We appreciate the efforts of the University Management in reducing the convocation fee and wish all graduating students a seamless clearance process, a memorable convocation ceremony, and a successful transition into the next phase of their careers.

NELFUND STUDENTS’ LOAN SCHEME: ANNOUNCING THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION

The Union wishes to inform all Unilorites that the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) Students’ Loan Scheme is currently open for applications. The scheme, established by the Federal Government, provides financial support for institutional charges and upkeep allowances to help remove financial barriers to quality education.

In line with our commitment that no student is left behind due to financial constraints, the Union strongly urges every eligible student to apply as the application deadline is 20th August 2025. This deadline is set to ensure that institutional charges are paid directly to the University and to guarantee disbursement in time to meet next session’s school-fees payment. Prompt action is necessary to ensure applications are completed in good time.

The Union emphasizes that this scheme is a vital lifeline for students facing financial challenges, and early application will increase the chances of timely processing and disbursement to meet academic needs. Detailed guidelines for creating an account, completing profiles, and submitting applications have been provided on NELFUND’s portal at nelf.gov.ng.

While we appreciate the University management for their cooperation with NELFUND in ensuring a seamless application and disbursement process, we urge all Unilorites to act swiftly and take advantage of this opportunity. Be rest assured of our continuous commitment to inclusion and excellence.
