So far, about 53% of that money has been disbursed to 5200 applicants already. 854 applicants out of the 6054 successful applicants are yet to receive the loan while 721 applications were declined or rejected due to several reasons such as wrong BVN, unverifiable address, none performing loans with other financial institutions.
Some have uncleared or unsettled loans with NIRSAL such as AGSMES, Anchor Borrowers Program and COVID-19 Loans respectfully.
The Ministry also said some of the disqualified applications were submitted by those who were more than 35 yaers of age which is clearly outside our age limit.
