Global Partnerships, Local Impact: DBN & German Bundestag Advance MSME Financing

The Development Bank of Nigeria hosted a Development Finance Roundtable with a high-level parliamentary delegation from the German Bundestag, led by Dr. Wolfgang Stefinger, in Lagos.

The dialogue reinforces the strength of our shareholders and funding partners — the Federal Government of Nigeria, World Bank, AfDB, KfW, AFD and EIB — who have collectively enabled DBN to address Nigeria's MSME financing gap.

With Nigeria home to 41 million MSMEs contributing >50% to GDP, the roundtable explored new avenues for Germany-Nigeria development Cooperation, Private Sector Capital Mobilisation, Green Financing and Job Creation

DBN has disbursed over N1.4 trillion by creating over 1 million MSME loans. Together with our partners, we remain committed to building a sustainable ecosystem for MSMEs.

The DBN team was led by Mrs. Ijeoma Ozulumba, Executive Director, Finance & Corporate Services

At 91, Loretta Green wears a piece of voting rights history each time she casts her ballot: her 1960 poll tax exemption certificate.

Green, an Air Force veteran who served during the Korean War, was exempt from paying the tax because of her military service. Issued when she lived in Alabama, the document certified that she could vote without paying, a right other voters faced financial barriers to exercise.

Under Jim Crow, Southern states used poll taxes alongside literacy tests and intimidation to suppress Black voters. The amounts and rules varied by state. Alabama’s annual tax was $1.50, and unpaid taxes could accumulate, turning two years of payments into $3 and three years into $4.50: an obstacle for people with little money to spare. Poll tax receipts documented payment; exemption certificates like Green’s documented that the holder did not have to pay.

The 24th Amendment banned poll taxes in federal elections in 1964. In 1966, the Supreme Court ruled them unconstitutional in state elections as well. Today, Green uses her certificate to teach younger generations about the barriers Black Americans faced, and the importance of exercising their right to vote.
