From Rose Ejembi, Makurdi
House of Representatives candidate for the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) for Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, Prof. Kohol Iornem has promised that if elected, he will set up a scheme to provide interest-free loans to youths and traders within the constituency as a way of creating jobs and boosting their socio-economic life.
Iornem further explained that setting up the loan scheme would encourage petty traders to expand their businesses, saying the loans will be short term, non-interest and will be recycled quarterly.
He noted that his foundation, Menroi is already granting these interest-free loans to small business owners in Benue State which will be replicated with same model by allocating some of the constituency funds for this scheme for the good people of Kwande and Ushongo.
The NNPP House of Representatives hopeful said he will liaise with commercial banks to open a branch in the headquarters of the two Local Government Areas, Lessel and Adikpo as there are no financial institutions in Kwande and Ushongo.
Prof. Iornem assured the people that despite the challenges, respite is on the way and advised them to vote wisely by queuing behind competent candidates like him in 2023
