Buhari To Begin Disbursement Of N10,000 Soft Loans To Petty Traders Soon

Buhari

The Presidency on Monday gave indications that it would soon commence the disbursement of N10,000 collateral-free loans to petty traders in selected states of the country.

The disbursement, which is partly facilitated by the Bank of Industry, falls under the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), one of the social investment programmes of the Buhari administration in which N500 billion was earmarked in the 2017 budget.

Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the Acting President on Media and Publicity explained that at least two million beneficiaries were expected in the pilot scheme to take off soon in Lagos, Kano and Abia states before the year ends.

He said no fewer than 4,000 enumeration agents had been deployed by the Bank of Industry to collect data of beneficiaries.

States with larger populations, states like Lagos and Kano are expected to get more than 30,000 loans. Across the country, especially in the pilot states, about 500,000 potential beneficiaries had so far been enumerated.

Laolu also noted that upon repayment of the loan, beneficiaries would be entitled to access higher facility ranging from N15,000 to N50,000.

He said the goal of the Buhari administration was to use the TraderMoni to take financial inclusion down to the grassroots, the bottom of the ladder, considering the contribution of petty traders to economic development.

“The Federal Government is also aware of the fact that many of the petty traders don’t have what the commercial banks require to grant them loans.

“This administration is keen to ensure that such traders at that level are able to build their businesses and grow,” he stated.

    The 10k is a technical “vote buying” in disguise.

    It’s just a national bribe money to induce the Abokis or weak Nigerians to vote for him.

    Why has Buhari and APC not shared 10k to Nigerians since three years they subjected the entire Nation to unknown sufferings?

    Why has Buhari not felt compassionate for Nigerians with all the outcry of the populace over economic helplessness?

    Buhari is deadly corruption for thinking to seduce Nigerians with 10k gifts (gifts for what?) at the eve of the election.
    This is pure corruption and a federal one for that matter.

    Mr integrity, this your 10k inducement is a pure corruption. Period.

    Keep the money! Don’t introduce another type of corruption in our system.

    Don’t corrupt Nigerians please.

Remember, you can’t after eating your cake and still have it. Ten thousand Naira is nothing in Nigeria of today. Who are they deceiving? Let them give their wives that amount for shopping and see if they will not divorce them. Nigerians are suffering we need nothing than change of government. Period. Let them add this money to the ones they have already stolen and go. Nigerians are tired of empty promises and empty stomach in the midst of abundance. God bless my beloved country Nigeria.
