The Impact Multipurpose Cooperative Society (IMCOOPS), in collaboration with El-Sufyan Global Services Nigeria Limited and Tranquil Way Limited, has successfully implemented the IMCOOPS Micro & Small Credit Program (IM-SCReP), an initiative designed to expand access to finance for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
The programme was held on Thursday, 15 January 2026, at the Sheikh Ɗahiru Usman Bauchi Hall, opposite Shema Petroleum, Tudun Wada, Kaduna, Nigeria, and commenced promptly at 9:00am. The event brought together cooperative members, entrepreneurs, and key stakeholders focused on promoting sustainable enterprise development through cooperative-based financial solutions.
The programme was themed “Expanding Access to Finance for MSMEs: Cooperative-Led Pathways for Inclusive Economic Growth,” reflecting the organisers’ focus on inclusive and community-driven economic progress.
Speaking at the event, the President of Impact Multipurpose Cooperative Society, Hajiya Maryam Ibrahim, urged members and participants to effectively apply the knowledge and skills gained during the programme. “Discipline, accountability, and strict compliance with cooperative rules and regulations are essential to fully benefit from this credit scheme and achieve sustainable business growth,” she said.
According to her, adherence to cooperative principles and the responsible utilisation of funds remain critical to accessing finance and expanding enterprises within the cooperative framework.
Participants actively engaged in discussions, shared practical experiences, and showed a strong collective commitment to advancing inclusive economic growth. Their contributions helped shape conversations around access to credit, enterprise management, and long-term sustainability.
The IM-SCReP initiative represents a strategic intervention aimed at empowering entrepreneurs, deepening financial inclusion, and fostering sustainable economic development within communities. IMCOOPS expressed appreciation to all participants and partners, including El-Sufyan Global Services Nigeria Limited and Tranquil Way Limited, for their support and active involvement, while reaffirming its commitment to continued collaboration to advance cooperative development, enterprise growth, and shared prosperity across Nigeria in the country today.
