“Today, l’ve come to rollout the programme in the ‘Land of Hope’ Imo State. Hence, successful beneficiaries of the GEEP programme will start receiving credit alerts from Access Bank by God’s grace.

“This is a programme designed by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for vulnerable and low-income Nigerians who are involved in some sort of commercial activity or capacity but have never had the opportunity to access loans. It is meant to give priority to the most vulnerable in our society, such as, widows, youth, disabled and the displaced amongst others,” she stated.

The minister revealed that Abia State has 4,108 beneficiaries of the Government Enterprise Empowerment Programme interest-free loans, while 3,107 would receive N20,000 each as cash grants to vulnerable groups.
