The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has received a loan from the
International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) of the United
Nation equivalent to USD27.2 million towards the cost of implementing a
Rural Finance Institution Building Programme (RUFIN) through the Federal
Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development and intends to apply a
portion of the proceeds of this loan for the Engagement of Credit
Officers.
The Rural Finance Institution Building Programme (RUFIN) is established
with a Loan Facility in the sum of US$27.2 million to the Federal
Government of Nigeria (FGN) from the International Fund for Agricultural
Development (IFAD). The primary objective of this Programme is to
develop and/or strengthen the rural microfinance subsector of the
economy, comprising the Microfinance Banks (MFBs) and other member-based
Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) so as to enhance access of the rural
population to sustainable financial services, thereby expanding and
improving agricultural productivity as well as growing rural micro and
small enterprises (MSEs). The expected outcome is poverty alleviation,
especially among the rural poor, women, youths and the physically
challenged and closing of the very large existing gap of financial
inclusion of the active poor.
In furtherance of the partnership with RUFIN, BOA is implementing a specialised Rural
Business Initiative called “Bank of Agriculture Rural Business
Initiative” (BoARBI) in Bauchi, Bauchi State, Igboora in Oyo State and
Oko in Anambra State and therefore needs the services of Credit Officers
to drive the pilot programme. After a successful pilot, the programme
shall be expanded to other states of the Federation
