According to Dare, 500,000 youths are expected to benefit from the funding targets.

According to him, a minimum of N25 billion will be disbursed each year over the next three years, totalling N75 billion.

Dare noted that an initial sum of N12.5 billion will be needed to commence the NYIF, for the remaining part of 2020.

Mr Dare explained that they would be employing various channels to disburse the funds.

He said the channels would include micro credit organisations across the country the CBN supported by the Bank of Industry, fintech organisations and venture capital organisations registered with the CBN.
