Bauchi State government has commenced the disbursement of its Microcredit Revolving Loan Scheme (MRLS) to empower farmers, women, youth and persons with special needs across the 20 local government areas of the state.

The director-general of the State Agency for Sustainable Microfinance, Nura Muhammad Danmadami, who disclosed this to journalists in Bauchi, said the establishment of the scheme was part of the state government’s efforts towards reducing poverty and improving the living condition of the poor and vulnerable groups in the state.

Nura Danmadami said the purpose of the credit scheme was to empower the poor and vulnerable people with particular emphasis on women, youth and persons with special needs and explained that targeted beneficiaries of the revolving loans are those that operate small business enterprises but does not have access to credit from formal financial institutions to enable them start up and upscale their businesses for improved livelihood and poverty reduction.

“The main objective of the MIFIN Revolving Loan is to promote access of the poor to credit facilities, strengthen microfinance institutions operating in the state, increasing small business activities and generate employment, ensure financial inclusion for the unserved poor people.

“The State Government’s Microfinance Institutions Building Programme for Poverty Reduction (MIFIN) is a deliberate strategy for empowering Microfinance institutions by providing them with capital, skills and networks. “The MIFIN programme operates on the premise that if the capital, skills constraints of MFIs are addressed significantly, they will be able to perform their role of financial intermediation effectively and by extension, reach out to the deserving poor and provide them sustainable access to financial services to boost their income,” he said.
