“They get non-interest loans of N50,000 payable within six to nine months,” he said.

Olojede noted that the bank remains committed to the growth and development of the Micro, Small and Medium- Scale enterprises (MSMEs) to boost the country Gross Domestic Product anf employment.

“Our partnership with the Federal Government to roll out GEEP 2.0 in all the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory is part of our commitment to address the primary factor small business owners face.

“In rolling out the programme GEEP 2.0 loans, special accounts will be opened for all beneficiaries for the disbursement of the loan.

“All beneficiaries are expected to complete physical enumeration at their various local government and an account opening form of Access Bank prior to disbursement,” Olojede said.

He added that all qualified beneficiaries would receive their disbursement alerts after full enumeration. (NAN/vitalnews)
