APC Chairman claims Tinubu's N116B intervention funds boosting MSMEs, youth jobs nationwide

APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda stated earlier today that President Tinubu's intervention programs are delivering economic benefits through N75B Presidential Intervention Fund for MSMEs, N11B SMEDAN support, and N30B NDDC Youth Entrepreneurship Fund. He said these initiatives address historic financing challenges for small businesses by providing accessible capital to expand operations, enhance productivity, and create jobs across Nigeria.

Yilwatda emphasized the funds are already impacting artisans, farmers, traders, and young entrepreneurs nationwide, creating multiplier effects through increased productivity, higher household incomes, and stronger local economies. He cited the programs as tangible proof Tinubu is fulfilling campaign promises to boost economic inclusion, with businesses receiving assistance and youth turning innovative ideas into thriving enterprises.

The APC chairman urged Nigerians to recognize these as genuine investments rather than mere policy promises, stating evidence shows rising economic inclusion and job generation. For entrepreneurs and MSME owners seeking growth capital, these specific funds administered through SMEDAN, NDDC and the Presidential Intervention Fund represent concrete opportunities to access financing that was previously difficult to obtain.

With N116 billion collectively allocated across these three intervention programs, will you explore eligibility for these funds to grow your business, or do you believe traditional banking channels remain more accessible for your enterprise's needs?
