As part of its mission to democratize access to consumer credit, expand economic opportunity and empower millions of Nigerians to improve their quality of life through responsible borrowing, the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP), in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, today launched the C.L.I.C.K.D. Programme (Credit for Laptops, Internet, Connectivity and Knowledge Digital Devices) at the Afreximbank African Trade Centre (AATC), Abuja, on 21 July 2026.
C.L.I.C.K.D.
is a device financing initiative launched in partnership with the Federal
Government’s Three Million Technical Talent (3MTT) Programme. It
provides qualifying Nigerians with structured, affordable consumer credit for
laptops, internet-enabled devices and other digital tools, removing the upfront
cost barrier that has kept many talented Nigerians from fully participating in
the digital economy. Beginning with locally assembled laptops, C.L.I.C.K.D. is
built to expand across every category of device and digital tool of the
workforce, from internet-enabled devices to connectivity, with local assembly
prioritised at each step.
The
inaugural programme focuses on fellows training through the Learn2Earn
platform, many of whom are acquiring in-demand digital skills without access to
the devices needed to complete their training and transition into employment or
entrepreneurship. Delivered in collaboration with Fidelity Bank as credit
administration partner and NASENI and Imose Technologies as device
manufacturers, it will provide 1,000 locally assembled laptops to eligible
fellows across Nigeria, with 77 beneficiaries in Abuja receiving their devices
at the launch ceremony as the first phase of a nationwide rollout. Assembling
the devices in Nigeria shows how consumer credit can expand digital inclusion,
strengthen local manufacturing and deepen the country’s technology ecosystem.
The event
was chaired by the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation and
Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, who served as Chief Launcher of the
programme.
“Nigeria’s
digital economy can only thrive when our people have both the skills and the
tools to succeed. Through C.L.I.C.K.D., we are helping qualifying Nigerians
participate more fully in the opportunities created by the 3MTT initiative
while strengthening local manufacturing through the use of locally assembled
devices,” said Dr. Bosun Tijani, Honourable Minister of Communications,
Innovation and Digital Economy.
“C.L.I.C.K.D.
transforms digital devices from a barrier into an opportunity. By embedding
affordable consumer credit into a national talent programme like 3MTT, starting
with locally assembled laptops, we are giving qualifying Nigerians a
responsible pathway to the tools they need to learn, work and earn, while
advancing the Federal Government’s vision for industrial development and job
creation on both sides,” said Engr. Uzoma Nwagba, Managing Director/CEO of
CREDICORP.
C.L.I.C.K.D.
is CREDICORP’s flagship device financing initiative, open to working Nigerians
nationwide, with the 3MTT programme as launch partner for this first phase.

C.L.I.C.K.D.
is built to grow into an open, multi-partner programme. CREDICORP invites
additional Participating Financial Institutions, device manufacturers and
technology vendors to join, and will continue to work closely with the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN), training institutions and strategic partners to scale
device financing across the 3MTT network and beyond, unlocking access to
digital devices for millions of Nigerians.
