The earliest bank in Nigeria, First Bank Plc, has an array of products that are targeted to cater to specific sectors. One of them is the First Edu Loan which is packaged and designed to provide funding solutions to schools and other educational facilities nationwide. The entire essence of this loan product is to help improve the quality of education in Nigeria.
Majorly for primary and secondary schools, First Edu Loan was packaged to fund the schools’ working capital. Many times, logistics, staff hiring, environment improvement, and so on are borne by the school proprietors and proprietresses. This workload, plus the money constraints, stunts the growth of the school and staff, thereby creating a huge gap in demand-quality supply.
