There have been allegations by some farmers of undue delay in disbursement of CBN loans by NIRSAL in its capacity as a Partnering Financial Institution (PFI).
However, reacting to media inquiries over the allegations, the Head of Corporate Communications, Ms. Anne Ihugba, said NIRSAL was committed to timely disbursement of funds to applicants.
She clarified that NIRSAL’s practice was to “disburse farmers’ funds approved by the CBN within 5days of receipt of Loan Term Sheets from the CBN,” once such farmers met stipulated loan conditions.
“This is in line with NIRSAL’s policy stance to always expedite the funds access process of all applicants who have met conditions precedent to draw down.
”NIRSAL observes the highest ethical and professional standards and restated that all funds from the CBN are disbursed directly into farmers’ accounts and farmers can access such funds once drawdown conditions have been met.”
