She noted that “the re-opening of the Payroll Support Portal will cut across all sectors which are: educational, hospitality and general sector.

“The public is reminded that qualification requirements are businesses must have CAC registration, businesses must have a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 50 staff.

“Business must be owned by Nigerians, must have verifiable BVN; the scheme provides for 45 per cent female participation and 5 per cent Special Needs participation.

“The payroll support track of the MSME Survival Fund Scheme, a component under the Nigeria Economic Sustainability Plan, which was flagged off on the 21st of September 2020, is aimed at supporting vulnerable MSMEs in the payroll obligations of over 500,000 employees for a period of three months.”
