It is organised by the Ministry in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria, to offer Loan amounts between N250,000 – N3million as obtainable in the CBN Intervention Programmes such as COVID-19 Targeted Credit Facility Loan, AGSMEIS Loan, and the Nigeria Youth Investment Fund Loan Scheme.
The Loan would enable the exited beneficiaries to proceed to an entrepreneurial endeavour which would ensure a sustainable means of livelihood for the Npower beneficiaries.
NEXIT Loan as the name implies began with the exited Batch A and B beneficiaries of the Npower programme, and will progress to the Batch C Npower beneficiaries as indicated by the Ministry.
The NEXIT Loan Programme is a high hope for the exited Npower beneficiaries.
A NEXIT Loan Training Programme conducted for the Batch A and B Npower beneficiaries between 15th March, 2022 and 19th March 2022, ensured the training of 75,000 beneficiaries in Entrepreneurship and Business Management, in the 1st Batch of the NEXIT Loan Training.
However, over 300,000 Batch A and B Npower beneficiaries are yet to partake in the NEXIT Loan Training while none of the beneficiaries has recieved any disbursement of the NEXIT Loan till date.
