How to Apply for Fresh BOI Intervention Funds in 2026 as Applications Open

The Bank of Industry (BOI) has urged entrepreneurs, women-owned businesses, and small-scale enterprises across Nigeria to apply for various intervention funds through its newly launched iProgrammes platform.

The platform serves as a centralized digital gateway for all BOI intervention fund programmes, providing applicants with a single portal to access funding opportunities, submit applications, and track their application status.

According to BOI, the platform currently hosts several active programmes aimed at supporting economic growth, entrepreneurship, and business development across the country.

Among the ongoing programmes is the Guaranteed Loans for Women (GLOW) initiative, a N10 billion fund designed to support women-owned businesses through affordable financing, mentorship, and capacity-building programmes.

Also open for applications is the Rural Area Programme on Investment for Development (RAPID), which provides financial support and business advisory services to nano, micro and small-scale enterprises operating in rural and economically disadvantaged communities.

The platform also features the BOI/Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) Intervention Funds, established to promote local content development and growth within Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.

BOI said the BOI–NYSC Entrepreneurship Programme, a N2 billion welfare fund targeted at National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, is currently available by nomination, while the Tertiary Institutions Staff Support Fund (TISSF) is expected to reopen for the 2026/2027 application cycle.

The bank noted that iProgrammes was developed to simplify access to intervention funds by bringing all funding initiatives under one roof.

It added that the platform offers centralized access, streamlined digital applications, application tracking, and enterprise-grade security for users.

Interested applicants can access the intervention fund programmes and submit applications through the BOI iProgrammes portal at: BOI iProgrammes Portal (https://iprogrammes.boi.ng).

The Bank of Industry is Nigeria’s foremost development finance institution, providing financial and business support services to enterprises across various sectors of the economy.
