Please am trying to register but it’s not acknowledging my BVN, please what do I do
If it’s showing invalid BVN or network connection error. Erase ur BVN & retype it, when u scroll up you’ll be told to wait while it been processed. Just keep trying, I had the same experience but I eventually got it.
A GOOD PROGRAM BUT POORLY IMPLEMENTED.
Most people who registered under the CBN-NIRSAL AGSMEIS Loan scheme and were trained by CBN accredited institutes who submitted their business plans since last year are yet to hear from NIRSAL. This is one program that would have turned the economic fortune of Nigeria around. So let CBN arise to their responsibility as a regulator and monitor NIRSAL closely.
Thanks.
