The CBN, as part of its policy measures to address rising youth unemployment and underemployment, introduces the Tertiary Institutions Entrepreneurship Scheme (TIES) to create a paradigm shift among undergraduates and graduates of Nigerian polytechnics and universities, from seeking white-collar jobs to entrepreneurship. The Scheme aims to provide an innovative financing model that will boost job creation, enhance entrepreneurship development, and support economic growth.

What is CBN TIES?
You might wonder what TIES means, right? Well, that is understandable because you only know it as a word. But for us, TIES means Tertiary Institutions Entrepreneurship Scheme, otherwise called CBN TIES Loan, because it is a loan initiative designed by the Central Bank of Nigeria to assist Nigerian youths with funding for their entrepreneurial ideas instead of watching them continue with the search for white-collar jobs.

The CBN TIES loan will provide seamless access for Nigerian youths with entrepreneurship skills to a platform that will offer them affordable loan and grant. This, the CBN said, will become a tool for creating employment for many graduating from different institutions of higher education yearly.
