BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU\/AMERICAN FOREIGN BUREAU CHIEF<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>IN VIEW OF VARIOUS BUREAUCRATIC\u00a0PROCESSES required for a Nigerian legal resident, Green card holder or Nigerian-American small-scale business owner to access loans in United States’ banks for their companies, the Embassy of Nigeria located at 3519 International Court in Washington\u00a0DC., has filled that void by a proposed federal credit facility to be made easily available\u00a0to these Nigerians. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In a historic move which featured Nigerians from various walks of life converged at the Embassy last Friday August 17, 2018, a press briefing held 12:noon where it was unanimously agreed that Nigerian business men and women in America should be assisted with loan facility to be able to expand their businesses. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This reporter gathered that to be eligible for the loan facility, the following requirements must be met by the Nigerian small scale business owners: ‘You must be a Nigerian business owner in USA, have a verifiable source of income-stream, possess average Credit Score, have clean background check.’<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In a good move supported by Steering Committee of the Nigeria National Association USA under Bayo Idowu, Chairman Emeritus who can be reached directly on: +1 240-422-2004, he assured\u00a0Nigerians legally in America that this loan facility is a good step in the right direction to help Nigerians.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Other officers in charge of this noble concept who can be reached by Nigerians in Yankee\u00a0are: Dr. Kazeem Bello, Commiittee Chairman may be reached at: +1-973-809-8053; Felix.O. Obi, Chair, Corporate\/Media Sub-Comm can be reached at: +1-301-2019-2253, Dr. Eunice Ukwani, Comm. Sec.Gen may be reached at: +1-347-277-2135<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
