The Federal Government plans to disburse N250bn as loans to Medium-scale, Small and Micro Enterprises to boost job creation across the country.

According to the National Development Plan 2021–2025 , a copy of which was obtained by The PUNCH, the Federal Government plans to increase loan disbursements to the MSMEs from N190bn from N440bn. The government said the proposed loans were a part of its employment and job creation plan which among other things seeks to address the challenge of harnessing the potential of the youth demography into a productive force for growth and poverty reduction.

The report said Nigeria’s vision for 2025 would build on past plans’ progress to support the formalisation process of the MSMEs and align strategies across high growth sectors to ultimately drive massive job creation.

It added that providing easy access to finance for MSMEs is critical to delivering jobs and ultimately lifting millions out of poverty during the five-year period which the NDP covers.

FG blames seaport congestion on absence of dry ports - Punch NewspapersThe most widely read newspaper in Nigeria I wonder why the FG are always quick to blame other factors aside the real factor causing setbacks in the economy? Nobody wants to blame the fraudulent activities of the customs & bad roads. Open many dry ports without addressing d real issues and see if congestion will disappear FG statement on port congestion is fraudulent. When we had less than hundred million population, we had three river/seaports up and running Nigeria govt are doing everything opposite, only to the benefit of few. Next thing you'll hear is 'we will borrow $2bn to build dry ports at Zamfara and Dutse to decongest seaport'.
