According to BoI’s 2025 Impact Report, the funding spanned multiple sectors, including manufacturing, agribusiness, MSMEs, infrastructure, power, ICT, and the creative industries, reinforcing the bank’s role as the nation’s leading development finance institution for industrial and enterprise growth.
Sectoral allocations included:
- N202 billion to agro-allied enterprises
- N100 billion to infrastructure projects
- N79 billion to manufacturing
- N77 billion to extractive industries

The bank noted that the disbursements were supported in part by a €2 billion syndicated facility secured at the end of 2024, as well as the N200 billion Federal Government MSMEs loans and grants programme. An additional €210 million was mobilised from international partners in 2025.
BoI also deployed N73 billion in managed and matching funds on behalf of states and institutional partners, helping to expand access to long-term capital for productive sectors across the country.
The record funding highlights BoI’s continued commitment to driving enterprise growth, job creation, and industrialisation in Nigeria.
