Not less than 500,000 civil servants are set to benefit from a N100bn total sum under the first phase of the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CrediCorp) scheme.

This was disclosed on Wednesday by the Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun.

According to him, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Credit Corp, Uzoma Nwagba, has confirmed the receipt of the N100bn for the take-off of the initial phase of the scheme.

The presidential aide added that disbursement to Participating Financial Institutions (PFI) is expected this week or latest next Monday.

Olusegun explained that civil servants will have the opportunity to access loans of up to N3.5 million, depending on their income and needs, adding that the scheme offers the lowest interest rate around and a super flexible repayment plan that takes pressure off their finances.
