CREDICORP launches new scheme to provide tech devices

CREDICORP is on a mission to make consumer credit accessible to more Nigerians. The goal is to boost economic opportunities and help people improve their lives through responsible borrowing. Today, in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, they launched the C.L.I.C.K.D. Programme. The event took place at the Afreximbank African Trade Centre in Abuja on 21 July 2026.

The C.L.I.C.K.D. Programme stands for Credit for Laptops, Internet, Connectivity and Knowledge Digital Devices. It is a device financing initiative linked with the Federal Government's Three Million Technical Talent (3MTT) Programme. This scheme gives eligible Nigerians access to affordable credit for laptops, internet-enabled devices, and other digital tools. This helps remove the high upfront costs that have kept many talented Nigerians from taking part in the digital economy.

Starting with locally assembled laptops, C.L.I.C.K.D. aims to cover all types of devices and digital tools needed in the workforce. The focus will be on internet-enabled devices and connectivity. Local assembly will be prioritized at every stage of the process.

The program is focused on fellows training through the Learn2Earn platform. Many of these fellows lack the devices needed to finish their training and move into jobs or start their own businesses. The scheme will provide 1,000 locally assembled laptops to eligible fellows across Nigeria. During the launch, 77 beneficiaries in Abuja received their devices as part of the first phase. Assembling devices in Nigeria shows how consumer credit can help improve digital inclusion, boost local manufacturing, and strengthen the technology ecosystem in the country.

The event was chaired by Dr Bosun Tijani, the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy. He served as the Chief Launcher of the program.

"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," said Dr Bosun Tijani.

"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," said Uzoma Nwagba, an engineer and the Managing Director/CEO of CREDICORP.

C.L.I.C.K.D. is CREDICORP’s main device financing initiative, available to working Nigerians nationwide. The 3MTT programme is the launch partner for this first phase. Interested Nigerians can register at this website.

C.L.I.C.K.D. is designed to grow into an open program with multiple partners. CREDICORP is inviting more financial institutions, device manufacturers, and technology vendors to join. They will also work closely with the Central Bank of Nigeria, training institutions, and strategic partners to expand device financing across the 3MTT network and beyond. This will unlock access to digital devices for millions of Nigerians.
