Access FG N350bn Consumer Loans Towards Poverty Reduction 2024

In a significant move towards addressing critical economic challenges, the Nigerian government has earmarked N350 billion for a consumer credit fund and a national poverty reduction strategy in 2024. This substantial investment aims to tackle two pressing issues: improving access to credit for consumers and alleviating poverty, particularly in rural areas.

A Focus on Consumer Credit:

  • N100 billion has been allocated for a consumer credit fund, underscoring the government’s commitment to enhancing access to credit for Nigerians.
  • The decision follows the establishment of a Technical Working Group by the Presidential Council on Industrial Revitalisation to develop a framework for enhancing consumer credit.
  • Dr. Doris Uzoka-Ani, the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, highlighted the significance of a well-structured consumer credit system for economic growth. The lack of such a system has been a hindrance to financial inclusion and prosperity.
  • Challenges in accessing credit, such as stringent eligibility criteria, high-interest rates, and inadequate availability, have been common for many Nigerians. The consumer credit fund aims to address these challenges and make credit more accessible.

Tackling Poverty Head-On:

  • The remaining N250 billion will be dedicated to the National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy, approved in 2021.
  • This strategy focuses on poverty reduction in rural areas, where the poverty rate is notably higher than in urban areas.
  • The World Bank estimates that 38.8% of Nigerians will live below the international poverty line in 2024, emphasizing the urgency of addressing this issue.
  • The commitment to the National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy demonstrates the government’s determination to confront poverty directly.

Challenges and Opportunities:

  • The success of these initiatives hinges on effective implementation, transparency, and accountability.
  • Ensuring that allocated funds are used efficiently and reach the intended beneficiaries is crucial.
  • Addressing challenges such as corruption and bureaucratic inefficiencies will be vital for the success of these programs.
  • Despite challenges, the government’s commitment to poverty alleviation and improved access to credit represents a positive step forward.
