Empowering Grassroots Entrepreneurs
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially opened applications for the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), a landmark initiative under the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).

The programme operates through three main windows:
• TraderMoni – for petty traders and artisans running informal businesses.
• MarketMoni – for market women and small-scale business owners seeking expansion capital.
• FarmerMoni – tailored for smallholder farmers, offering loans of up to ₦300,000 to support agricultural production.
