See FMARDSPACE/AFJP Update: OAGF To Pay Enumerators Next Week
It was made known that over N15B is lying idle in the Unity Bank, awaiting disbursement, depending on when the issue of risk-sharing formulae is resolved
“This made CBN decide to change the risk-sharing formulae to be (50:50) and unity bank refused to agree, so about 15billion+ is at unity bank waiting for the agreement between the two parties, therefore for both the zero interest agricultural input loan and the fertilizer subsidy grant have no time to be disbursed until an agreement is arrived at and all the petition in EFCC are proved negative”-Myeduproject quoted the press release held by FMARDSPACE/ AFJP, September 09/ 2021
The risk-sharing ratio will now be equal, should there is bad debt or loan default, meaning CBN will bear 50% of any risk from farmers refusing to return the loan where necessary.
Similarly, Unity bank plc will also take 50% of the risk, as part of a measure to disburse the loan. No more (CBN70% : unity bank 30%) as agreed earlier
“Regard to the Provision of the zero interest agricultural input loan and the fertilizer subsidy grant to the Enumerated farmers, on this we don’t have fixed time or date, as of before the agreement made on sharing risk formula between CBN and Unity bank is (CBN70%: unity bank 30%) later on, a lot of complaints were raised by those sabotaging the project that the farmers will eventually not pay for the loan”- Analysis by MYEDUPROJECT
The above has been agreed upon and the office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) has been noted regarding this, the EFCC will keep an eagle eye on the fund as disbursement commences next neet

I hope the farmers fertilizer subsidy is a grant,why is it that they are talking about risk sharing fomular if the farmers does not pay
This is because, farmers taking the loan may not pay it back, if that happens, both parties will share the risk 50 50
Settle all enumerators that work for please, as you do so God blessed you.
