As a further testament to its contributions in the credit sphere, CRC Credit Bureau Limited (CRC) was recognised for ‘Outstanding Facilitation of Access to Finance’ in Nigeria. The recognition came from the Policy Development Facility Phase II (PDFII) at the ‘ Non-Oil Export Conference & Awards’ (NECA) in Lagos.
This comes after receiving the Best Credit Bureau, Nigeria 2020 in January, by Capital Finance International (CFI.co) a print journal and online resource reporting on business, economics and finance with its Headquarters in London, United Kingdom.
CRC Credit has gained this recognition because of its contributions in driving access to finance for individuals and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises which are the largest employers of labor in the Nigerian economy.
The Theme for the event was ‘Growing Non-Oil Export Business in Nigeria: The Strategic Imperatives’ which covered three plenary discussions, the non-oil export awards and exhibitions from Made in Nigeria, Small and Medium Enterprises. The event had a cross section of private sector organizations, relevant government agencies, trade associations, development partners, members of the House of Assembly, along with other representatives in the non-oil export value chain as part of the dialogue at the event. The event also saw the launch of The Network of Practicing Non-Oil Exporters of Nigeria (NPNEN) a body that will continue to champion advocacy and capacity development in the non-oil export space after PDF II closes.
According to the Managing Director/CEO, CRC Credit Bureau, Mr. ‘Tunde Popoola, who was represented by Mrs. Peggy Chukwuma-Nwosu, Head of Business Development at the event
‘CRC will continue to use our robust database of credit information and superior technology to champion the cause of access to finance for MSMEs which will help end our dependency on Oil. At CRC, we believe that MSMEs are the engine of growth for any economy and they can only thrive with access to finance, which is made easier with access to credit information for both the Lender and Borrower.
