The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has given a sum of N159.21 billion to 330,128 female under the Targeted Credit Facility (TCF) designed to support household and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This was stated by the Governor of the apex bank, Godwin Emefiele, at the ‘Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow’ event in Abuja.

According to him, the bank has supported women with other intervention funds such as AGSMEIS, MSMEDF and other schemes in addition to issuing gender-mandated regulations to pave way for gender diversity and inclusiveness at the top management levels in the banks.
