The Future of Credit for Young Nigerians Starts Now
The Future of Credit for Young Nigerians Starts Now
By Nike Kolawole
For too long, millions of young Nigerians have been locked out of the credit system, not because they lacked ambition, skill, or vision, but because the system didn’t see them.
The result is dreams deferred, potential left untapped, and side hustles abandoned.
YouthCred is here to change that.
Starting with Youth Corpers, CREDICORP is delivering 400,000 young Nigerians the two things that can transform life in the new economy:
1. Real Credit Education — equipping them with the knowledge to use credit as a tool for growth, not a trap.
2. Responsible Consumer Credit — giving access to finance that fuels better living and MICRO-ENTERPRISE.
This is not just another government program. YouthCred is powered by a 100% paperless, AI-native institution, built to work at national scale from day one.
It’s the kind of infrastructure that says to every young Nigerian: “We see you. We believe in you. And we’re betting on your future.”
Because a productive middle class isn’t built by chance — it’s built by access, trust, and opportunity.
✅ Eligibility
