CBN TEXTILE REVIVAL IMPLEMENTATION FUND
The CBN in collaboration with the Federal Government of Nigeria and some selected state governments constituted the Textile Revival Implementation Committee (TRIC) to revamp and revive the CTG Sub-sector.
The Stakeholders in the CTG value chain include the Nigerian Cotton Association, Cotton Farmers, Ginning and Textile Companies, Nigerian Textile Manufacturers Association, Bank of Industry, potential customers’/end users of textile products.
CBN has deployed a financing initiative that will utilize a vertically integrated approach, to harness the synergies of all participants across the value chain, from farm to customer. This would be achieved through Guarantee of Off-takers across the value chain to ensure seamless implementation of the value chain initiative.
