In a significant effort to help Nigerians move up the social ladder, President Bola Tinubu has given the green light for the first part of the Consumer Credit Scheme, managed by the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP).
Initially aimed at civil servants, this scheme wants to make it easier for people who are active in the economy to get credit for things they need.
