In a strategic move to ease access to affordable credit and support Nigeria’s clean energy transition, the Federal Government has rolled out the CrediCorps Loan Program—a reliable gateway for individuals and civil servants to access loans with significantly reduced interest rates of up to 50%.
The initiative, powered by CrediCorps.ng, offers two key loan options tailored for different purposes:
- The CALM Fund – designed specifically for individuals seeking financing for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicle conversions or solar home system installations.
- Civil Servant Loans – in partnership with Credit Direct, these loans cater to federal and state civil servants looking for flexible personal financing or Buy-Now-Pay-Later options.
