The Federal Government on Wednesday said beneficiaries of the MSMEs Survival Fund’s Payroll support track and the one-off General MSME Grant have started receiving payments.

It would be recalled that the commencement of payment to beneficiaries of the Payroll Support track and the one-time General MSME Grant was announced on Sunday.

This follows the approval of the Steering Committee of the MSME’s Survival Fund for the payment to successful beneficiaries of the Payroll Support and General MSME Grant tracks.

According to a statement by the presidency, over N13billion has been made available for the Payroll Support track, and over N2billion for the General MSME Grant respectively.

The statement says for the Payroll Support track, where beneficiaries are supported with a N30,000 or N50,000 grant per month for a period of three months, 146,065 successful beneficiaries from 28 States have started receiving payment of the sum of N30,000 each.

It says each beneficiary under this batch of payment will receive the payment of N90,000 as three-months’ salary support directly from the Federal Government.

According to the statement, the states include Abia, Adamawa, Anambra, Bayelsa, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Gombe, Imo, and Jigawa.

Others are Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe, and Zamfara.

This brings a total of 465,820 beneficiaries so far under the Payroll support scheme nationwide.

The presidency explained that under the General MSME Grants track, 46,117 successful beneficiaries in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and 36 States have started receiving payment for the one-off grant of N50,000 each.

This total makes up 50 percent of the required disbursement per State. Another batch that completes the target is forthcoming. 

The total number of beneficiaries in this track is 100,000 spread across the States. The one-off grant of N50,000 will be given to each qualified MSME as direct cash injection into their enterprise.

The MSME Survival Fund, a component under the ESP is designed to support vulnerable Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in meeting their payroll obligations and safeguard jobs in the MSMEs sector. The scheme is estimated to save not less than 1.3 million jobs across the country and specifically impact over 35,000 individuals per state.

The ESP was approved by President Muhammadu Buhari on June 24, 2020, as a N2.3 trillion stimulus plan to mitigate the socio-economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Nigerians. 

The Plan was developed by the Economic Sustainability Committee chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who the President also asked to lead its implementation.
