Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, has responded to former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye's claims about the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND.

NANS urged people not to take Melaye seriously when discussing education policy. Onanuga shared NANS's stance on X, expressing disbelief at Melaye's claim.
