How To Apply For Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme

Interested and qualified candidates are required to visit the official application portal to apply for the Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme. More information can also be found on the official website. The scheme commenced on March 9, 2024.

Minister’s Update:

The Minister of Trade, Industry, and Investment, Doris Uzoka-Anite, emphasized the necessity of linking the applicant’s National Identification Number (NIN) with their bank accounts in line with Central Bank of Nigeria regulations.

  • Due to new regulations from the Central Bank of Nigeria, applicants are now required to link their national identification numbers (NIN) with their bank accounts.
  • The Ministry currently does not have a record of the NINs of those who applied. Therefore all applicants will receive an SMS from ‘FGGRANTLOAN’ With instructions to submit this information via a
    secure link.
  • This step is essential for the continuation of the application process. Only verified applicants will receive this notification, and NINs must match the applicant’s name for the process to proceed.

Conclusion:

The PCGS offers financial grants to eligible small business owners in Nigeria without repayment obligations. It represents a significant step towards supporting nano businesses and fostering economic growth in the country.
