Read each question, pick your answer mentally, then tap the question bar to reveal the correct answer and a quick explanation. Keep a tally of how many you get right!
Q1. What is the maximum interest rate charged on FoodBank.ng's food credit plan for civil servants? A) 5% per month B) 0% interest C) 2.5% flat fee
Answer: B — 0% interest. FoodBank.ng offers a genuine zero-interest BNPL plan: you pay 50% upfront and spread the remaining balance over two months with absolutely no interest added, saving a civil servant on Grade Level 08 potentially ₦5,000–₦15,000 compared to informal credit arrangements.
Q2. Approximately how much does a 50 kg bag of the most popular parboiled rice cost in an Ibadan wholesale market in 2024? A) ₦18,000 B) ₦35,000 C) ₦75,000–₦85,000
Answer: C — ₦75,000–₦85,000. Staple food prices have risen sharply; a 50 kg bag of quality parboiled rice now costs between ₦75,000 and ₦85,000 in major Ibadan markets like Bodija, making credit-assisted bulk buying more valuable than ever for families.
Q3. How does FoodBank.ng collect repayments from enrolled civil servants? A) Cash pickup at your office B) Automatic salary deduction through the government payroll C) Weekly bank transfer reminders
Answer: B — Automatic salary deduction. FoodBank.ng's civil servant programme is integrated with government payroll systems, so repayments are deducted directly from your monthly salary — no risk of missing a payment, no late fees, and zero stress.
Q4. Which Nigerian food is considered one of the most nutrient-dense and affordable sources of plant-based protein for families on a budget? A) White bread B) Brown beans (oloyin/honey beans) C) Instant noodles
Answer: B — Brown beans (oloyin/honey beans). A 5 kg bag of oloyin beans costs roughly ₦7,000–₦9,000 and provides more than 20 g of protein per serving — far better nutritional value per naira than processed alternatives, and a staple you can buy in bulk on FoodBank.ng.
Q5. Where is FoodBank.ng headquartered? A) Lagos Island B) Abuja FCT C) Ibadan, Oyo State
Answer: C — Ibadan, Oyo State. FoodBank.ng was founded in and operates out of Ibadan, the largest city in West Africa by land area and a major hub for food trade in South-West Nigeria — giving the platform deep roots in Nigerian food culture and supply chains.
Q6. A civil servant wants to stock up on food for three months. She earns ₦80,000/month. With FoodBank.ng's 50% down payment plan, if her food order totals ₦60,000, how much does she pay upfront? A) ₦30,000 B) ₦20,000 C) ₦15,000
Answer: A — ₦30,000. FoodBank.ng's plan is simple: pay 50% (₦30,000) at checkout, and the remaining ₦30,000 is split over two monthly salary deductions of ₦15,000 each — at 0% interest, so she pays exactly ₦60,000 total, nothing more.
Q7. Which of these is NOT a requirement to access the civil servant food credit programme on FoodBank.ng? A) Proof of government employment B) A property or car as collateral C) A valid bank account linked to your salary
Answer: B — Collateral is NOT required. Unlike traditional bank loans, FoodBank.ng's food credit for civil servants requires no collateral whatsoever. Your employment status and salary deduction agreement are sufficient — making it accessible to junior and senior civil servants alike across Nigeria.
