Nigeria to Launch De-Risking Fund in May to Boost SME Financing

The Federal Government has announced plans to launch a de-risking fund in May 2025 to improve access to affordable financing for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across Nigeria.

Special Adviser to the President on Job Creation and MSMEs, Mr Temitola Adekunle-Johnson, made this known on Saturday at the 2025 International Women’s Day event organised by the Nigerian Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (NASME) in Abuja, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said the initiative is part of the Tinubu administration’s plan to address high lending rates—currently as high as 28% to 30%—which continue to stifle MSME growth.

He added that the de-risking fund would also serve as a buffer for small businesses facing the impact of international trade challenges, such as the 14% tariff imposed by the United States on certain Nigerian goods.
