Tinubu explained that NCGC was established to address the challenges faced by many viable businesses when seeking loans from banks due to limited collateral or no credit history. The NCGC achieves this objective through its network of 19 financial institutions, comprising 13 commercial banks, three microfinance banks, and three development finance institutions.",
