CBN Intervention Programmes: AGSMEIS, COVID-19 TCF, NYIF, each per beneficiary | FAQ

There have been rising questions on wether a beneficiary of the COVID-19 Targeted Credit Facility Loan can benefit from the AGSMEIS Loan Scheme.

The Nirsal Microfinance Bank reacting to such question clearly stated that a beneficiary of COVID-19 TCF is outrightly not qualified for AGSMEIS Loan Scheme.

This means that even if you have spent money on being trained by an Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI) for the AGSMEIS Loan and you later got COVID-19 Targeted Credit Facility Loan, you will automatically become ineligible for the AGSMEIS Loan Scheme.

The same criterion applies to the Nigeria Youth Investment Fund. A beneficiary of COVID-19 Targeted Credit Facility Loan or AGSMEIS Loan is completely not qualified for the Nigeria Youth Investment Fund.

In fact, a Nigerian can benefit from only one of the CBN Intervention Loan Schemes at a time. However, if the beneficiary of one of the programmes has repaid about half of the previous loan, he/she may be considered in another Scheme.

It is the intention of the Federal Government to ensure that Loan Scheme touches the lives of many Nigerians as much as possible.
