“This is a programme designed by President Muhammadu Buhari administration for vulnerable and low-income Nigerians, who are involved in some sort of commercial activity or capacity, but have never had the opportunity to access loans.

He stated: “We have felt the impact of the National Investment Programmes of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs. We are appreciative of the efforts of the Ministry in making sure that President Buhari’s dream of lifting 100m Nigerians out of poverty is realized.
“We also appeal to you to increase the number of beneficiaries in Imo state. Lately, the poverty index in the state increased due to banditry and insecurity.“
