FG has already received over 80,000 applications within the first three days of announcing the presidential grants and loans programme. This was revealed on Thursday by the Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Doris Anite.

Please see my previous thread for the announcement of the programme: https://www.nairaland.com/7931731/subsidy-fg-disburse-50000-naira

FG SET TO COMMENCE DISBURSEMENT OF PRESIDENTIAL GRANTS, LOANS TO BUSINESSES

As part of the Presidential Palliative Programme, the Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the kick-off of two programmes targeted at alleviating the impact of the fuel subsidy removal - the Presidential Conditional Grant Programme and the Presidential Palliative Loan Programme. This was revealed in a recent press release issued by the Honourable Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite, CFA.

In the Presidential Conditional Grant Programme, the Federal Government will disburse a grant sum of N50,000.00 (Fifty Thousand Naira) to nano businesses across the 774 local government areas in the country.

The Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment and Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) will collaborate with State and Local Governments, Federal Legislators, Federal Ministers, Banks and other Stakeholders.

According to the statement, eligible nano business beneficiaries should be willing to provide proof of residential/business address in their local government area, and
provide relevant personal and bank account information, including Bank Verification Number (BVN) for verification of identity. Eligible beneficiaries get more information and apply at https://www.fedgrantandloan.gov.ng.


For the Presidential Palliative Loan Programme, the Federal Government will likewise disburse N75 billion to Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) across various sectors and N75 billion specifically to Manufacturers. The loan shall be administered to the beneficiaries at a single-digit interest rate of 9% per annum.

While MSMEs can access loan facilities up to N1 million with a repayment period of three years, manufacturers can access up to N1 billion to access financing for working capital with a repayment period of 1 year for working capital or five years for the purchase of machinery and equipment.

MSMEs and manufacturers can apply for the loans by submitting their application on the portal provided for the programme at https://www.fedgrantandloan.gov.ng.

Iamzik:
Yeah so are you insinuating that Palestinians are the old cannanites?

The Jebusites are the Ijebu people. As an Ijebu I deserve to claim Jerusalem. The ancient Hebrews committed genocide against our people 4 thousand years ago and we are here to take back our possession.

misreal:
Like I said,you don’t follow the news all you follow is propaganda on twitter.
Na alqasam brigade be ur news.
You will soon open 5 more threads now

I love Haaretz. Seems Israeli newspapers are even more truthful than western media. Haaretz should be protected by all means. The israeli genocide has to end. It has been on for 75 years. One day, our descendants will Bury their heads in shame and wonder how their parents could allow such horror ro happen.

bigiyaro:
😁😁😁😁😁... Terriosts never lack reasons/excuse for thier mental delusions. Zionism is also responsible for the killing of 100s of 1000s Arabs by ISIS while the rest of the Arabs standby and did nothing, isreal also used Saudi Arabia to starve and bomb millions of Yemenis to death. Anyway, let the strongest mad people win, we are also facing the same thing with the Fulanis supported by the federal government to take over southern Kaduna, plateau and Benue states. It's the way of the world.

You just keep stereotyping every Muslim as terrorists. Life is not black and white bro and Boko harambee is not Hamas and Hezbollah. Each group has its own ideology. In fact, Hezbollah is one of the groups that fought against ISIS. What you are doing is lazy propaganda. You are lumping all Muslim groups under one umbrella. That is an old and lazy way of propaganda bro, try better.

You need to go and study the history of the middle East very well to understand what is happening.

Dmama1991:
Isreal why don't you guys wipe everybody out ,why waiting

You are right, next time ipob messes up they should just flatten Anambra.

bigiyaro:
of course, as far Palestine and Iran exists, Hamas and Hezbollah will always exist, because 98% of Palestinians are same as Hamas. Rescuing the hostages came after pressure from the families, if not, the isrealis have already written off the hostages as mythers of war, the aim was to destroy Gaza and inflict maximum damage. In any case, violence doesn't really resolve this kind of issues. I just hope Palestine will be so busy in the next 20 years rebuilding Gaza to plan any other terriost attack.

Palestinians are living under a hellish brutal occupation in West bank and a tightening permanent siege in Gaza. Why would they not hate Israelis? Didn't blacks hate whites in SA until apatheid was dismantled?

In 1920 there was no hamas. Jews and Muslims lived peacefully in Palestine unti Zionism emerged. Zionism should be blamed for radicalising palestinians.

JASONjnr:
Giving them military power will mean abusing it.


Because all what they know is terrorism...

please read what you wrote aloud to understand how you sound.

bigiyaro:
it's amazing how stuupid some people thinks, no wonder the isrealis have turned the waste barren land into a prosperous state, while the so called Palestinians are still stuck in the 1800s. Go and look at the regional map in the 1940s and look at it now, who is growing and expanding? That region originally belongs to the Jews even before the biblical days, and the Palestinians are just normads. In any case, more that 14k potential Hamas members are dead against 1400 isrealis. If the trend goes that for every 1 Israeli killed, 100 Palestinians will be killed, who the hell do you think will loose out in the end eventually? Pls tell your Hamas brothers to use thier heads, they have been fighting for donkey years, and only achieved death and wastage, other rich Arab countries are not helping them, maybe they should try another approach other than violence.

Bros, Israel should have dialogued and made concessions to these people and stop treating them like animals, Even though a lot of people died, this latest war may actually pave the way for more concessions. After killing thousands israel realised they cannot rescue a single hostage and have now agreed to prisoner swap. After all the destruction, Hamas is still standing. Don't just write people off as terrorists simply because you don't like them. They are fighting a just cause. Nevertheless, i don't support killing innocent people on both sides.

Iamzik:
Pouring into Palestinian from where??

The world does not think that Israelis are special. The world returned them to their ancestral land. Israel has always owned that land. Even the Quran attest to the fact that Jews own Jerusalem and you know it. Jews are mentioned in the quaran severally, no single mention of Palestine so what is your point? The argument that Jews never existed in present day isreal is a farce and you know it

Nobody owns anywhere. Even according to the Bible, the jews were preceeded by the canaanites.

TOPCRUISE:
Hamas are the government ruling the Gaza strip which includes Palestine. Their baseless claim that Israel has no stake is baseless. From Biblical times, Hamas, Palestinians and other people like you that have been fighting Israel to evict them from their land including Jerusalem have been failing. So many attempts have been made to evict Israel yet they will return and still rebuild all that were abandoned because prophecy never fails.


The Israel there today is still same Israel. Your claim is like saying the Israelites have perished and have lost their identity the same way other Nations like babylon, Assyria, Troy, philistines Elam, Midianites, Sodom and Gomorah e.t.c.

Excuse me sir. You sound like a brainwashed religious bigot. This is the 21st century, dumbass

Iamzik:
It's easy to sit in the comfort of your house and type long grammar.

If Hama's had Israel's fire power they would have anihilated them and thesame you who is pontificating here will cheer them on.

Advice your darling Hamas to have sense for once and stop shooting rockets into Israel if not they will never recover from how much Israel will destroy them.

And as for all this your war criminal talk, it's just a dream and nothing will happen.

Stop supporting terrorists if you are not one of them

Before the creation of Israel, jews were pouring into Palestine and the Palestinians accepted them. Why didn't they kill them at that time when they were vulnerable. Palestinians hate Jews only because they are oppressing them. If you had someone takeover your home simply because the world thinks they are special and you are worth nothing and still that guy continues to maltreatment you, would you not hate him?

Floky215:
No mind the idiot...!!
They all think alike..no wonder somebody far awar would command them to go and kill their parent and they would gladly do cos the man.told them they would get reward for it in heaven..!!

Worst than zombies...!!

Wait, are you guys okay? So it's okay for Israel to enter Palestinian homes to steal, kill and destroy but Palestinians can't take Israelis to exchange for their comrades abi? If you are not careful, media will make you see the victim as the villain and the villain as the victim. I hope you are alive one day in the future when peace will be settled between Israel and Palestine and Israelis will acknowledge their atrocities.

bigiyaro:
on another note, the highest that will happen is that Natanyahu will lose his office, but check out the whole destruction in Gaza. Who lost out? Stupiid people. Am sure they wont be gliding for the next 50 years.

When you kill peoples children you are making more Hamas. It doesn't matter how many of them you kil, fact is that they can still kill someone from Israel and tomorrow it could be Netanyahu's child. I heard he already lost a nephew in the Gaza offensive. Israel has to make peace with these people and concede serious land to them. A great injustice has been done and no matter how many people they kill, Israel cannot say they guarantee the safety of their people.

bigiyaro:
why don't you ask the head banging paragliders who thought killing 1400 Israelis was the most heroic act in their wretched lives?

The so called paragliders took over Israeli military bases and killed almost 400 soldiers deapite israel having overwhelming militaryadvantage. The current Israeli political leaders know they are finished politically due to their failure to protect their citizens so they diverted attention to the civilians killed in the process. Now facts are emerging that even most of the Israeli civilians that died were killed by incompetent pilots firing blindly at everybody killing both Hamas and Israelis.

Whether Israel wins this war or not, Netanyahu is toast. Once it is over, the Israelis will organise an investigation and expose the idiots. Have you been paying attention to the Israeli media? Israelis know exactly those who caused the problems.

bigiyaro:
.....why are crying blood? US has to join Hamas and beg isreal o, Hamas thought they are mad, unfortunately Dem jam person wey mad pass them, when you kill someone's 100 civilians and the person killed like your own 10,000 civilians and looks like he's going to wipe out all your village people, you have no choice than to beg and even invite others to help you beg. . The Yemenis and Hezbollah rats are just trying to reduce the ass whipping of Hamas, but it's not working. Did you hear anything like ceasefire from the isrealis? By the time Israel finished with the Gaza rats, the hungry Yemenis and Hezbollah rats will hide.

Wow, so you think the test of power is in who can kill more civilians abi?

misreal:
And how do you differentiate between hamas and a civilian?
You guys who know nothing about war will just wake up and start shouting.
Hamas are hiding behind civilians to attack,so if a civilian allows himself to be used by hamas,the civilian becomes a target.
This is not coventional warfare,the IDF is fighting a people that are hiding behind civilians,this is why it seems they are killing civilians.but I bet you,most of them are hamas operatives behaving like civilians.
Haven’t you also seen how the IDF has been killing top hamas operatives?

Nitwit. So a five year old girl is Hamas abi. Even soldiers kill terrorists in their houses and avoid their children. But israel is not killing hamas, not even rescuing hostages but simply killing children. They are so good at killing children whilst hamas is still killing them guerilla style. Israeli politicians should bury their heads in shame at what they are doing to the legacy of Abraham.

Therock5555:
I think you're the bigger fool.


Kindly state where I supported any fella or shove your opinions up your butt hole.

You are clearly supporting Israel's killing of thousands of children and want it to continue. On the other hand, i condemn hamas killing of israeli civilians despite knowing that Israel is the aggressor.

misreal:
Only good at killing children and they conquered the entire Arab world in 6days.
Keep deceiving yourself,if it makes you happy.

Old glory is not today's glory. Shebi mossad knows how to assasinate Iranian scientists? Can't they assasinate hamas? Oh, sorry, they are only interested in killing children. IDF, the best army in the world in killing children.

TINUBUISMAD:
Flog the idiot
I keep on asking myself this question, why is Islam synonymous with terrorism?

Israel is so good at killing innocent children but bad at killing Hamas.

bigiyaro:
Since I was born, I have never seen bigger fools than those who believed that the isrealis killed thier own citizens, when Hamas themselves posted the videos of thier 'heriocs' murdering isrealis in cold blood. See idiots that watched Iran's terriosts leader hailing Hamas for a job well done. So the isrealis invited Hamas across the boarder and gave them hostages to take into Gaza? .... Nothing will save those Palestine fulls this time around, the normal propagandas did not work, calling for ceasefire did not work, now it's to deny the attack, talking about Some hediots that have bitten more than they can chew. Mean while, "David" has lost more than 12k men, halve of his land is in tatars and he is still running inside tunnels and holes like rats.

Oh, the truth is bitter abi. Hamas has killed over 2,000 IDF soldiers in combat since oct 7 whist Israel has killed 11,000 Palestinian civilians including almost 5,00 children. So Hamas knows how to kill IDF but IDF doesn't know how to kill hamas. They know how to kill children. Israel wants to proof to Hamas they know how to kill children better.

IamAtikulate:
Old glory?

Oya go and fight them nah.

😂😂😂

Israel that doesn't think you as an African is worth anything.

misreal:
If ipob is the leader of the south East,then Nigeria has the right to wipe out the whole south East.
See,there is a whole lot of difference btw gaza and south East.
Hamas rules Gaza,but Nigeria rules south East.
If a ruler invites war to its people,then that ruler should not cry when his people starts dying..
Hamas is the very definition of evil

Hamas is not the one dying. Infact they really don't care as long as they can kill IDF cowards guerilla style. The people complaining Aretha innocents dying . IDF left fighters and faced civili. Are they not cowards?

misreal:

Hamas is the very definition of evil

Hamas took over Gaza via coup and Israel continued to prop them up to weaken the less violent Fatah in West Bank. Hamas is still not recognised by most countries.

Now. I am sure you are one of the people that condemned what happened to Odi and Zaki Biam.

misreal:
Omo leave those guys,them just want ease their pains.

They will say Israel is losing,later they will say Israel is commiting genocide.
How can a loser commit genocide against a winner?
Na winner dey commit genocide because of the amount of force they use.
They must think we are all idiots.

Israel is losing because instead of facing Hamas, it is busy killing innocent children whilst the real hamas is killing Israeli soldiers guerilla style. Wake up bro, IDF is only good at killing children.

bigiyaro:
...I guess the head banging paragliders bite more than they can chew...haba, Hamas killed 1,400 isrealis, so you think isreal will just kill a few Hamas cowards and leave it at that? Na lie, isreal will times that number by 100 if possible, the 12,000 Palestinians is still a small price to pay for 1,400 isrealis. Next time, craze man no go find mad man trouble. If e pain you , go Gaza.
Before I forgot, isreal is saving their main weapons for Iran.

Bros, Hamas is the David here and Israel is the goliath. I am one of the people that condemned killing of Israeli civilians by Hamas but evidence now showed most Israeli civilians were killed by their own army. You have heavy military equipment but don't even know how to use it to save your people. All you know is to kill. Tell me now, how many hostages have been rescued? Remember Israel has killed 50 of the hostages through bombardment of Gaza.

IamAtikulate:
Israel defeated 5 Arab countries in 6 days.

Let it sink into your yoruba moslem skull.

GAZA will be annexed.

FOREVER

Old glory. They can only face rag tag Hamas which they are struggling with. Even in the Bible when the Israelites sinned, God punished them. The current Israeli leaders are cowards and child killers. God will punish them for their evil.

misreal:
You are running away from my points and hiding under the umbrella of abuses and religious sentiments.
If hamas thinks they have the right to take the lives of 1200 Israelis,then Israelis have the right to take the lives 14000 Palestinians.

If IPOB have the right to kill Nigerian soldiers then Nigerian army has the right to wipe out Onitsha. Continue to support evil, one day, it will get to your doorstep.

Therock5555:
Bloody hypocrite, if you can show me your post condemning the death of Deborah last year, I'll apologize to you.


Stupid two faced hypocrite.


If you're so pained, go to Gaza ASAP

You are an idiot! It is people like you that perpetrated the Rwanda genocide. Evil is evil anywhere and we must condemn it. Continue to wallow in your bigotry until you become a victim of it one day.

AbuTwins:
This comment is not for me. I go against the terrorism of Israel against the Palestinians especially the civilians and kids!

Apologies. This is for those religious extremists who see wrong but will not say it. Evil is evil, no matter who is committing it. Because you wear fancy uniforms and use heavy tech does not mean you are not a terrorist. IDF is a terrorist army.
