ADDRESS BY H.E. @MBuhari , PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ON THE #COVID19 19 PANDEMIC SUNDAY 29TH MARCH, 2020
Fellow Nigerians, From the first signs that #Coronavirus, or #COVID19 was turning into an epidemic and was officially declared a world-wide emergency, the Federal Government started planning preventive, containment and curative measures in the event the disease hits Nigeria.
The whole instruments of government are now mobilized to confront what has now become both a health emergency and an economic crisis.

Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning has been directed to release N600 billion for Capital Expenditure between now and end of 2019 (when, all things being equal, 2020 budget kicks in in line with target for Jan-Dec fiscal year)
The new Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme, launched by PMB Jan 2019, is facilitating inflow of more than N205 billion into 19 Nigerian roads/bridges (combined length 794.4km) across 11 States. (Apapa-Oshodi-Oworo is one of the roads,you’d have seen the reconstruction ongoing)
Is #TraderMoni and #MarketMoni a vote buying scheme? Don't take my words for it, read what the COO of GEEP @uzonwagba says about it.
"First the GEEP program started in 2016, so this is our third year of operation. Our first loan registration was in May 2016. Since then we have been running the GEEP program nonstop across the country. Also we must note that it is the direct field learnings while implementing...
...#MarketMoni that led to the introduction of the #TraderMoni which started as a mobile-based loan product and kicked off in Sept 2017. The point is that GEEP didn't start in election season. Very far from it. As at Nov 2017... we had disbursed over 300,000 loans" @uzonwagba
What is this #GEEP program really about?

"GEEP was initiated in 2016 by the FG; with an understanding that there are over 30m Nigerians at the base of the pyramid who are in active commercial activity but never have an opportunity to access credit. In 2017, only 0.04% of bank loans went to this micro segment" @uzonwagba
"These hardworking Nigerians are not “interesting” to the traditional lenders: they've little to no financial track record, they've no collateral, some barely have formal identities. However, they're actively trading and in dire need of capital." - @uzonwagba
