The government intends the fund to benefit at least 1.7 million people, comprising small businesses, their employees, and self-employed individuals. The Survival Fund consists of two components:
- The Payroll Support Scheme, which will see the Federal Government assist MSMEs to pay the salaries of their workers. Businesses that benefit from this will receive payroll support of between ₦30,000 and ₦50,000 per employee for three months. Up to 10 employees per business will be covered by the scheme. About 500,000 MSMEs are expected to benefit from this.
- The Guaranteed Offtake Scheme, which will enable businesses to carry on with their operations in the current conditions. Here, 100,000 small scale businesses will receive a ₦50,000 grant. One-off grants of ₦30,000 each will also be disbursed to artisans, electricians, plumbers, and transport businesses (bus drivers, taxi drivers, rideshare such as Uber and Bolt drivers, and mechanics).
