The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development have announced that it is planning a rollout of the GEEP 2.0 (GEEP Loan) nationwide, after which an enumeration exercise to capture beneficiaries’ biodata will take place, as it engages 98,000 beneficiaries in the Programme.
The Minister, Sadiya Umar Farouk disclosed the plan in an official statement signed by her Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Nneka Ikem Anibueze.
Farouk noted that this follows the final verification of Phase 1 applicants who qualified and were selected to benefit from small loans ranging from N50,000 to N300,000.
“All beneficiaries of GEEP 2.0 shall receive congratulatory and sensitization text messages in the coming days informing them of their qualification”
“All qualified beneficiaries will soon receive their disbursement alerts”
“We wish to remind all qualified beneficiaries that GEEP Loan is a loan payable without interest. It is not a grant or a government windfall”, she added.
