Aisha Buhari decries sales of loan forms

Mrs. Aishat Muhammadu Buhari

The Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari has decried the sale of forms for interest-free loans to women across the country.

The forms, she said ought to be  obtained freely from the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.

But she said her name was being used to defraud the public, who are made to pay for the forms.

The Wife of the President raised the alarm in a statement issued by her Special Adviser (Media), Adebisi Olumide Ajayi.

The statement reads: “Mrs Buhari said the forms which are supposed to be given out free, are also interest free yet they are being sold between N1,500 (one thousand five hundred Naira) and N5,000 (five thousand Naira) to the unsuspecting public, this she said  defeats the purpose of the programme which is mainly to assist women, especially those at the grassroots

“She further appealed to those involved in the act to desist from sabotaging the programme and allow the Nigerian women to feel the change mantra,” it stated.
