Trainees under the Federal Government’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme must meet a 65 per cent attendance requirement to qualify for the October stipend.
The condition was confirmed after a November 13 meeting involving the Federal Ministry of Education (FME), the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and TVET centre managers.
Eligible trainees are expected to receive their October payments through NELFUND. However, officials did not announce a payment date.
The meeting confirmed that outstanding supplementary payments for July and August had been disbursed to eligible trainees and centres.
How to qualify
Trainees should ensure their attendance is recorded on their dashboards with a minimum of 65% and verified by their training centres. Those with discrepancies should contact their centre managers and monitor payment updates.
