On the MSME Survival Fund, the minister said 174, 574 MSME operators have so far registered for the Scheme with Kano, Kaduna and Lagos recording the highest number of applicants within the first 24 hours of opening the portal.

Also speaking, the Special Assistant to the Vice President on MSME, Mr Tola Johnson said 75 billion naira had already been set aside by the Federal Government for the National MSME Survival Fund and the Guaranteed Off-Take Stimulus Scheme under the Nigeria Economic Sustainability Plan, NESP.

Mr Tola Johnson said the gesture was to assist MSME operators due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

In a remark, the Director-General of Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria, SMEDAN, Dr Dikko Umaru Radda said all MSME operators in all the States of the Federation and the FCT would get the funds as money has been set aside for each state in the programme.

He added that micro-businesses who account for about 99% of MSMEs will be able to benefit from the funds as the lease with their various trade associations.

He said necessary measures had been put in place to prevent scammers and fraudsters from taking advantage of the programme hence people can apply on the website www.survivalfundapplication.com
