I promised you credit-based economy – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has reassured to  move Nigeria towards a credit-based economy.

The President gave the reassurance in a statement posted on his verified X handle on Monday.

Tinubu stated that the move is to establish a loan guarantee scheme that would help small businesses overcome the barriers that keep them from finance.

According to the President, a worker with access to credit could buy what the family needs and pay over time, and a small business can invest today against the income it expects tomorrow.

“When I sought your mandate, I promised to move Nigeria towards a credit-based economy and to establish a loan guarantee scheme that would help small businesses overcome the barriers that keep them from finance.

“That promise was about something practical. We have been building the institutions to make that possible. Through CREDICORP, working Nigerians can access consumer credit.

“Our students can finance their education through NELFUND, while the Bank of Industry and Development Bank of Nigeria continue to lend to businesses.

“The National Credit Guarantee Company takes on one of the hardest barriers to business credit,” he tweeted.
