The government said this through the Bank of Industry, that the disbursing will be in three categories of funding totalling N200bn to support manufacturers and businesses across the country.
According to a report posted on the trade minister’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Doris Aniete revealed that an unspecified number of beneficiaries have received their grants, adding that by Friday, April 19, another significant disbursement will be made to a substantial number of verified applicants.
She said, “We are pleased to inform you that the disbursement process for the Presidential Conditional Grant Programme has officially commenced. Some beneficiaries have already received their grants, marking the beginning of our phased disbursement strategy.”
“By Friday, 19th April 2024,a significant disbursement will be made to a substantial number of verified applicants.
