NANTS Recommends Strategies for the Federal Government’s Disbursement of the N140bn Facility for Nigerian Traders. - The National Association of Nigerian Traders NANTS

The National Association of Nigerian Traders – NANTS commends the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for the provision of the sum of One hundred and forty billion Naira (N140 billion) in the 2016 budget, for allocation to traders, market women and other artisan (SMEs) across the country. 

We wish to place on record that this is the first time any government in Nigeria has recognised the role of traders as the heartbeat of the nation’s economy and made such provisions that would directly target at them. It is a further recognition of the role of traders as critical partners of change and agents in the redistribution of wealth through the circulation of goods and services across the country.
