It is no news that the Federal Government of Nigeria recently launched a new empowerment scheme known as Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme (PCGS) as part of the comprehensive Presidential Palliative Program. Aimed at supporting nano businesses, this program offers a substantial grant of Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000) per beneficiary, and it has a goal to reach one million nano businesses across the 774 local government areas in Nigeria.

Grant Distribution

The grant, totaling N50,000 prioritizes specific demographics, allocating 70% to women and youth, 10% to people with disabilities, and 5% to senior citizens. The remaining 15% will be distributed among other demographics.

Target Sectors

The PCGS is designed to benefit businesses operating in various sectors, including traders, transportation, food services, ICT, creatives, and artisans. This diverse approach ensures a broad impact on the economy.

Collaboration and Selection Process

To ensure a fair and efficient selection process, the Federal Government will collaborate with State Governments, Honourable Ministers, NASME, Senators, and House of Representative Members. These stakeholders will utilize the Federal Government’s criteria to shortlist beneficiaries from their respective constituencies.
