Loan description

  • The Fund will serve as a catalyst to unleash the potential of the youth and enable many of them to build businesses that will employ and in turn empower others. A multiplier effect of economic expansion and growth required to thrive in an increasingly competitive and connected world where adding value is the only sustainable pathway to success is expected to be achieved.
  • A minimum of N25 billion each year in the next 3 years, totaling N75Billion will be required to ring-fence the N-YIF. For the remaining part of 2020, an initial sum of N12.5 billion will be needed to kick start the N-YIF. It is expected that successive governments will keep the Fund, akin to a Youth Bank, alive.
  • The Nigerian Youth Investment Fund (N-YIF) is a ringfenced Fund that will strictly cater to the investment needs of persons between the ages of 18 and 35 years old. It is a restricted Fund that can only be used for the set purpose of Youth Investment.
  • N-YIF joins a slew of Youth-oriented programmes by President Buhari to combat youth unemployment with the objective of driving innovation, fueling the creation of entrepreneurship, and support youth SMEs.
  • N-YIF provides a single-window of Investment Fund for the youth thereby creating a common bucket for all Nigerian youth to access Government support. Providing less cumbersome access to credit and finance for the average Nigerian youth with an approved work plan or business idea will help lift thousands of the youth out of poverty and birth a whole generation of entrepreneurs.
  • The fund aims to reach 500,000 youth annually between 2020 and 2023. Each fund approval will range from N250, 000 to N50, 000,000, with a spread across group applications, individual applications, working capital loans set at 1 year and term loans set at 3 years with a single-digit interest rate of 5%. The funding will be a single-digit facility with a moratorium for a year and payable over a designated period. Some businesses may have longer repayment cycles but again the criteria will be clear and appliance to all.

  3. All of these are all fraud by the Nigerian government to cover for the evil they have done and embezzlement the current government have carried out since the non existence of the head of state(President buhari) however it's no longer a news that BBC igbo are the architects of all this with the soul intent of keeping the contraption called Nigeria as one. This are all fraud with evidence and proof using the following: npower 2020 recruitment, Nigeria police recruitment 2020, 50 billion CBN covid-19 fund for household through NISARL MICRO FINANCE BANK, and now the trending 75 billion naira Nigeria youth investment fund. All are fraud targeted at keeping the half brain washed Nigeria youth busy hoping and chanting praise while their lives and future are being traded on the table with the help of bbc igbo and the British for their selfish interest. This is a continuation of colonization and the Nigeria state being created by the British are yet to see their independence and breaking of a new dawn.

Buhari is working, however being surrounded by lions and hushmummies and daddies, his good intentions are being sabotaged!... I don't think this is fraud! and if you think otherwise just apply, if it is a fraud, you have nothing to lose and if it isn't then lucky are you! myself and my colleagues needs up to 35m for a start up and we are trying this out!
