President Bola Tinubu has approved the takeoff of the first phase of the Consumer Credit Scheme.

A statement by Ajuri Ngelale Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), disclosed this on Wednesday 24 April, 2024.

The statement reads: “Consumer credit serves as the lifeblood of modern economies, enabling citizens to enhance their quality of life by accessing goods and services upfront, paying responsibly over time. It facilitates crucial purchases, such as homes, vehicles, education, and healthcare, essential for ongoing stability to pursue their aspirations.

“Through responsible repayment, individuals build credit histories, unlocking more opportunities for a better life. Additionally, the increased demand for goods and services stimulates local industry and job creation.

“The President believes every hardworking Nigerian should have access to social mobility, with consumer credit playing a pivotal role in achieving this vision.

“The Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP) achieves its mandate through the following:

“(1) Strengthening Nigeria’s credit reporting systems, ensuring every economically active citizen has a dependable credit score. This score becomes personal equity they build, facilitating access to consumer credit.

“(2) Offering credit guarantees and wholesale lending to financial institutions dedicated to broadening consumer credit access today.

“(3) Promoting responsible consumer credit as a pathway to an improved quality of life, fostering a cultural shift towards growth and financial responsibility.

“In line with the President’s directive to expand consumer credit access to Nigerians, the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP) has launched a portal for Nigerians to express interest in receiving consumer credit.

“This initiative, in collaboration with financial institutions and cooperatives nationwide, aims to broaden consumer credit availability.

“Working Nigerians interested in receiving consumer credit can visit http://credicorp.ng to express interest. The deadline is May 15, 2024.

“The scheme will be rolled out in phases, starting with members of the civil service and cascading to members of the public.”

  1. The credit system is a system to monitor and control you. Introduced by the New World Order. A classic example is China. A place where most the people who can flee have fled the country. Please Do your research!
    The credit system is a control mechanism…a professor in China had his travel rights withdrawn for critical comments. Christian worshipers arrested in Chengdu for exercising their rights to pray.

    Wake-up Africa.. remember the saying “I managed to save a thousand slaves and would have saved more, had they known they were slaves”.

    • It’s a good development that people have been await decades ago,God bless our country amen.
      God choice.
