Good news for Nigerians! CrediCorp, through the Nigeria Consumer Credit Corporation (NCBC), has launched a new program to help more people own cars. This program, worth N100 billion, will make it easier for Nigerians to access loans to buy cars and improve their lives.
What is the CrediCorp Car Ownership Program?
CrediCorp’s goal is simple – to help Nigerians own cars by offering affordable credit. This program is designed to make it easier for people to access loans for cars, solar panels, home improvements, and other essential goods. By doing so, it aims to improve the quality of life for Nigerians, helping them access important things that make life easier and better.
The CEO of NCBC, Uzoma Nwagba, shared that the N100 billion budget for the program is just the beginning. The initiative is already helping thousands of Nigerians, and the goal is to help many more.
Why Do Many Nigerians Struggle to Get Credit?
Unfortunately, only about 3% of Nigerians have access to formal credit. This means that most Nigerians struggle to get loans to buy things they need, like cars. The reason for this is Nigeria’s weak credit system. But CrediCorp is working to change that by improving Nigeria’s credit reporting system, so more people can access credit easily and affordably.
Nwagba pointed out that the country needs to change how people view borrowing money. In Nigeria, many people see borrowing as a bad thing. However, borrowing can help people improve their lives if done responsibly.
How Does CrediCorp Help Nigerians?
To make it easier for Nigerians to buy locally made goods like cars, CrediCorp is offering loans with low interest rates. If you use the loan to buy a car made in Nigeria, the interest rates are very low—much lower than the high rates many Nigerians are used to.
This is a huge step forward, as interest rates in Nigeria can be as high as 40–60% per year, making loans unaffordable for most people. CrediCorp is working to make loans cheaper and more accessible for everyone.
How Can You Get a Loan?
CrediCorp has partnered with AutoCheck, a company that helps with vehicle financing. So far, over 20 vehicles have been delivered to Nigerians who applied for loans through this partnership. There are even more vehicles in the process, and over N1 billion worth of loans are being processed right now!
The process is easy. Nigerians can visit dealerships, apply for loans, and get their cars with minimal waiting time. The process is quick, simple, and designed to make car ownership easy for everyone.
Real Stories from Beneficiaries
Nigerians who have already benefited from this program are sharing their positive experiences. Amaka Okafor, a teacher from Abuja, explained how the program changed her life: “This car is more than just a vehicle to me—it’s freedom. I no longer have to worry about getting to school late or waiting for a bus. Now, I can focus on my work and spend more time with my family.”
Looking to the Future
CrediCorp plans to expand this program and help even more Nigerians. The goal is to reach 50% of Nigeria’s working population by 2030. Over 10,000 vehicles are expected to be financed soon, and this is just the beginning.
Conclusion
CrediCorp’s N100 billion car ownership credit scheme is a game-changer for Nigerians. It will help more people access affordable credit, making car ownership a reality for many who never thought it was possible. With low interest rates, easy loan processes, and a focus on local manufacturing, this initiative is set to improve lives and create new opportunities for Nigerians across the country.
