Nigerian contractors must drive the process themselves. Niger Delta Contractor Revolving Credit Facility Shell and the International Finance Corporation are jointly participating in a risk-sharing credit facility for the provision of financing in foreign currency to indigenous
contractors operating in the Niger Delta. The project is a $30million revolving credit facility in which Shell, IFC and Diamond Bank participate equally in the funding and risk sharing of the facility.
