In an effort to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty, the federal government has flagged off the restructured Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), known as GEEP 2.0.
Minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, Sadiya Umar Farouq inaugurated the programme in Abuja on Tuesday.
Farouq said the programme is one of the components of the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) designed to end poverty in many ways.
The minister said the GEEP now targets skilled populations that have always been left out on credit delivery programmes by providing soft and affordable loans to finance their businesses.
