Nigeria is on the brink of a significant economic uplift with the imminent introduction of a N100 billion consumer credit loan, announced by Zacch Adedeji, Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service. This initiative, revealed during a meeting with Guinness Nigeria Plc’s CEO Adebayo Alli at Abuja’s Revenue House, is poised to alleviate the financial strain on Nigerian consumers.

Dare Adekanmbi, Adedeji’s media aide, conveyed that the credit scheme is designed to lay down solid economic foundations, particularly benefiting the consumer goods market. “The launch of this consumer credit scheme is just days away, and it promises to ease the economic burdens, allowing consumers to have more disposable income for their needs and wants,” he stated.

The scheme is a response to the dual challenges faced by the manufacturing sector: production efficiency and market demand. With N100 billion allocated in the 2024 Appropriation bill, as confirmed by Minister of Budget and National Planning, Sen. Atiku Bagudu, the government aims to stimulate consumer spending and support manufacturers.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who ratified the N28.7 trillion national budget for 2024 on January 1st, has shown a strong commitment to bolstering the nation’s economy. This consumer credit loan is a testament to his administration’s dedication to fostering economic resilience and growth.
