While emphasising the difference between approval and disbursement, he explained that students whose academic sessions are about to start will be the first to receive the funds.

“The first recipients of the alerts next week will be those beginning a new session in their institutions. Others will receive their funds as their sessions begin, which may be in a few weeks or months. Those who have already started their sessions or are about to start in the last few weeks will receive their funds starting next week,” he added.
