The National President of the Practitioners of Content Creating, Skit-making, and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN), Michael Nwabufo, also known as Mike Premium, has called on content creators to apply for financial support aimed at fostering their creative endeavors.
During a briefing in Lagos, Nwabufo revealed that PCCSIGN had applied for grants through the Bank of Industry (BoI), with disbursement expected in October.
“We applied for a Federal Government grant through the Bank of Industry, and we anticipate receiving it this month,” Nwabufo stated. “Each recipient can expect to receive between one to three million naira, with a particular focus on supporting emerging content creators.”
He further explained that the guild will collaborate with a financial institution to ensure smooth distribution of the funds. Interested applicants are advised to follow PCCSIGN on Instagram, register through the link in the bio, and await notification of the disbursement.
Nwabufo emphasized that the funds would significantly help content creators and influencers in growing their platforms and achieving success in their careers.
In addition, he noted that as the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) ambassador, he would sponsor the business registration of 100 up-and-coming creators and influencers. He also highlighted PCCSIGN’s partnership with law enforcement to ensure creators are properly recognized, thus reducing the risk of wrongful profiling or harassment.
“We recognized an opportunity to uplift young creators and models, and we approached the government to make this possible,” Nwabufo said.
