The Central Bank of Nigeria has unveiled the eligible beneficiaries and businesses for its recently launched N75 billion Youth Investment Fund.

The Federal Executive Council approved the establishment of the fund for three years (2020-2023) to assist the Nigerian youth with much-needed funds for their businesses.

In its framework for the implementation of the scheme published on its site on Wednesday, the apex bank also identified the applicants not eligible to benefit from the fund.

According to the framework, NIRSAL Microfinance Bank (NMFB), the financial institution to manage the scheme, will be funded with an initial take-off seed capital of N12.5 billion.
