He said BoI disbursement portfolio was expected to grow to N12 billion from N6.8 billion by the end of the intervention scheme.<\/p>\n

According to him: \u201cThey are the ones that will boost the economy, they are the ones that will help the system but unfortunately, they have no means of getting funds and therefore, what we do is that we now work for financial institutions that will provide the reach, help the penetration and also help the men and women customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further encouraged Jaiz Bank to come forward for another trance of disbursement as soon as it is able to properly managed the initial N3 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
