The Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP), in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, launched the C.L.I.C.K.D. Programme (Credit for Laptops, Internet, Connectivity and Knowledge Digital Devices) on 21 July 2026 at the Afreximbank African Trade Centre in Abuja. This initiative aims to democratize access to consumer credit, expand economic opportunity, and empower Nigerians through responsible borrowing.
What is C.L.I.C.K.D.?
C.L.I.C.K.D. is a device financing initiative launched in collaboration 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 hindered many from participating in the digital economy. Beginning with locally assembled laptops, the programme is designed to expand across all categories of digital devices and tools, prioritizing local assembly at each stage.
First Phase and Beneficiaries
The inaugural phase focuses on fellows training through the Learn2Earn platform, many of whom lack access to devices needed to complete their training and transition into employment or entrepreneurship. In partnership with Fidelity Bank as credit administration partner, and NASENI and ImoseTechnologies as device manufacturers, the programme will provide 1,000 locally assembled laptops to eligible fellows nationwide. At the launch ceremony, 77 beneficiaries in Abuja received their devices as the first phase of a nationwide rollout.
Official Statements
The event was chaired by the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, who served as Chief Launcher. He stated, “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.”
Uzoma Nwagba, Managing Director/CEO of CREDICORP, added, “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.”
Future Expansion
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. It is built to grow into an open, multi-partner programme. CREDICORP invites additional Participating Financial Institutions, device manufacturers, and technology vendors to join. The corporation 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.
