Omar said that the bank received N75 billion on behalf of the Ministry of Trade and Industry

According to him, “beneficiaries were under the five tracks of implementation, which included payroll support track totaling N47,592,550,000, General MSME grants totaling N4,124,550,000, Artisan and Transport track totaling N11,947,800,000, MSME offtake totaling N2,335,120,000 and CAC formalisation support track totaling N1,494,534,000.

“Bank of Industry received 12 per cent of the N75 billion totaling N9 billion as a running cost for the project.

“Under the Guaranteed Offtake Scheme, 19,538 beneficiaries failed to deliver their items after receiving the 30 percent mobilisation fee, thereby breaching the contract with the Federal Government.”

He said that those who benefited from the intervention programmes were Artisans, transporters, small business owners, and private and public school staff.

Reacting to the Committee question on the mechanism put in place to recover the MSME offtake, the Executive Director said the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency is in charge of recovering the loan.

When the bank failed to speak to its document, the committee unanimously resolved that the Agency should submit relevant documents on all the disbursements during the period.
