The Nigerian government says it has resolved the technical problems related to the uploading of the National Identification Number (NIN) for participants in the presidential conditional grant programme, also known as the trade grant scheme.
The presidential conditional grant program is an initiative directed at Nano Businesses under the Presidential Palliative Program.
The scheme offers a grant of N50,000.00 per beneficiary, aiming to support one million nano businesses across the 774 local government areas.
According to the Minister of Trade and Investment, Doris Uzoka-Anite, the scheme scheduled to start on March 9, 2024, faced delays because of technical difficulties in uploading applicants’ NIN to the initiative’s portal.
Given the latest update on the grant programme, Uzoka-Anite said all technical issues have been resolved, thereby thanking the applicants for their patience.
“Attention, applicants of the Presidential Conditional Grant Programme: We’re pleased to announce that the technical issues regarding uploading your NIN have now been resolved. You can now proceed with your application process smoothly. Thank you for your patience,” Uzoka-Anite stated.
