People who may have defaulted in repaying their student loans to the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) now have a reprieve, but only for the next 30 days.
This is after HELB, on Tuesday, June 17, announced a whopping 80 per cent penalty discount when one pays their defaulted loans from June to July. "Enjoy an 80 per cent penalty discount when you repay your loan in full between June and July 2025," HELB announced. However, the discount would only be valid for those who repaid their debt in full.
Those willing to pay were advised to visit the HELB website through the USSD code (*642#), the HELB Mobile App or the HELB portal.
