The impact of the pandemic, coupled with the hijacked #EndSARS protests that led to the looting of businesses and destruction of properties has thrown so many Nigerians into debts.
Therefore, we are announcing that we have set aside a minimum of N50bn (through interest-free loans and grants) to support the rebuilding of businesses and to bring greater opportunities. This will be used to support:
- The communities we live in, the people who protect us, and the spaces that we need as communities to thrive.
- Our micro, small, and medium-sized businesses who employed most Nigerians and feed and educate our children.
- Our young population who represent the future and hope for our nation.
