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

Each fund approval will range from N250,000 to N50,000,000, with a spread across group applications, individual applications, working capital loans set at 1 year and term loans set at 3 years with single digit interest rate of 5%,” he said.

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