The Large Enterprises Directorate is focused on providing low-cost, long-term funding and financial advice to critical sectors of the Nigerian economy. The intent is to catalyse domestic production and job creation on a transformational scale, enhance local industry competitiveness, attract domestic and foreign investments, integrate local industries into domestic, regional and global value chains, grow export earnings and positively impact the overall economic prosperity of Nigeria.

The Large Enterprises Directorate also manages special intervention funds provided by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to support the economy’s power, aviation, manufacturing, cotton, textile and garment sectors. Additionally, the Directorate is also focused on supporting the establishment and revitalization of Special Export Processing Zones and Special Agro Processing Zones working in partnership with key stakeholders like the African Development Bank (AfDB).
