However, not every individual can afford these exorbitant living, hence the need for petty traders and artisans. These petty traders and artisans practically commit to running an operational economy by meeting our daily micro demands. Thankfully, the government recognises the economic hardship especially amongst low-income earners and created a social intervention program called TraderMoni.

TraderMoni is an empowerment initiative set up by the federal government to provide interest-free and collateral-free loans for petty traders and artisans. The primary objective of the intervention is to improve and help these petty traders in business and increase overall productivity.

People may question what N10,000 can do in a business forgetting that the benefactors of the said empowerment are “petty traders”.
