The Bank of Industry (BoI) says it disbursed a record ₦644.9 billion to 12,501 businesses in 2025, supporting or creating about 1.68 million jobs, according to reporting across multiple outlets. Outlets also note the BoI plans to continue expanding credit for key sectors and for underserved groups, including youth-owned businesses.

Coverage also points to longer-term targets. One outlet reports that BoI is setting goals to create three million jobs and raise annual lending to ₦1.85 trillion by 2027 under a new corporate strategy. While the core 2025 performance figures are consistently presented, framing differs between outlets that emphasise job creation versus those that foreground changes in lending performance and forward-looking planning.
