How can I get my NYIF loan?

Before expressing hope to get the NYIF loan, you must have filled in your details on the application portal when it was opened a year ago.

As confirmed by the FMYS, messages have been sent across to successful applicants.

The next thing to do is for you (as a beneficiary) to urgently respond to the email and message sent to you.
Follow the guidelines on how to open a Microfinance account to access the funds.

Meanwhile, FMYS has lamented that the rate of response to the emails by applicants has been quite low.

It said: “Shortlisted candidates must respond to communication in order to conclude the disbursement process. Those who fail to respond risk forfeiting this opportunity.”

The Nigerian Youth Investment Fund (NYIF) is being disbursed to the youth who have expressed business needs.

About 6,000 youth benefited from the first set of disbursements in 2020 and the names of the beneficiaries have since been made public.

About 4,375 applicants have so far responded to their loan offer messages and received their funds in the second batch disbursement, the statement added.
