 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 NELFUND to Halt Upkeep Loan Disbursements During School Holidays


The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) announced on Thursday that it will suspend the disbursement of upkeep loans to students during school holidays, aligning payments strictly with the academic sessions of tertiary institutions across the country.


In a statement issued by NELFUND’s management, the decision aims to ensure efficient use of resources and better align loan disbursements with students’ academic needs. The upkeep loans, designed to cover living expenses for students in Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and other tertiary institutions, will now be disbursed only when academic sessions are active.


“This adjustment reflects our commitment to fiscal responsibility and ensuring that funds are utilized effectively to support students during their active academic periods,” said NELFUND’s spokesperson, Aisha Musa. “Disbursements will resume promptly at the start of each institution’s academic session.”


The move has elicited varied responses. Some students expressed concerns about financial challenges during holiday periods, particularly for those who rely on the upkeep loans for basic needs. “The holidays are when some of us need the support most, especially for those without family backing,” said Chidinma Okeke, a second-year student at the University of Lagos.


Conversely, education analysts have praised the decision, arguing it will encourage better financial planning among students and reduce misuse of funds. “This policy ensures that the loans serve their primary purpose—supporting education—rather than being spent outside academic periods,” said Dr. Tunde Afolabi, an education policy expert.


NELFUND clarified that tuition loans, which cover school fees, will remain unaffected by the new policy and will continue to be processed based on institutional requirements. The agency also plans to work with tertiary institutions to ensure accurate academic calendars are provided to streamline the disbursement process.


Students and stakeholders are encouraged to visit NELFUND’s official website or contact their institutions for further details on the implementation of this policy. The agency has promised to provide timely updates ahead of the next academic session.
