The survey is related to the Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme (PCGS), a federal government initiative aimed at empowering nano businesses across Nigeria. This scheme provides financial grants of N50,000 to eligible small business owners in various sectors, such as trading, food services, ICT, transportation, creatives, and artisans.
The PCGS targets 70% women and youth, 10% people with disabilities, and 5% senior citizens, with the remaining 15% distributed to other demographics. The program’s primary objective is to unlock the potential of Nigeria’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and drive sustainable economic development at the grassroots level.
By participating in the survey, you’ll likely be asked about your experiences with the PCGS, its impact on your business, and potential areas for improvement. This feedback will help the Bank of Industry (BOI) and the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment refine the program and better support small business owners in Nigeria.
