President Bola Ahmed Tinubu says his istration is committed to providing the necessary for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to unlock their full potential and ensure their long-term success.

Tinubu said this at the 2023 Edition of the Lagos International Trade Fair (LITF) organised by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on Friday in Lagos.

The event has its theme, “Connecting Businesses, Creating Value”.

He was represented by Mrs Lucia Shittu, Chief Executive Officer, Tafawa Balewa Square Management Board (TBSMB).

Recognising the vital role that MSMEs play in the Nigerian economy, Tinubu stressed the government’s responsibility to these businesses, considering that they are the lifeblood of economic prosperity.

“It is our duty to provide them with the necessary and resources they need to flourish.

“We would continue to create policies, provide access to finance and capacity building initiatives that will empower these enterprises to reach new heights of success,” he said.

Tinubu, however, emphasised the need for MSMEs to embrace technology, innovation and adapt to evolving consumer demands.

By so doing, he said, Nigerian MSMEs would be better positioned not just as participants in the global marketplace but as leaders and innovators, setting the pace for others to follow.

“Let us forge ahead, with determination, resilience, and a shared vision for a Nigeria that stands tall on the world stage,” he said.

In his remarks, the Governor of Lagos, Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu, said the event’s theme showed the importance of businesses connecting, knowing fully well that no business organisation could survive on its own.

Sanwo-Olu was represented by Commissioner, Lagos State Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperative, Mrs Folashade Ambrose-Medem.

He said the fair provided another huge 10-day window for businesses to showcase their products and services, gain great marketing mileage and fresh opportunities for networking with other businesses.

According to him, the platform is timely, very strategic, and transformative as it will further build the investment ecosystems to more competitive investment opportunities in Nigeria.

The governor noted that while some would describe the youth population as a challenge to be managed, he called it a great potential to be unleashed in the state and nation at large.

He said there was a need for a different approach to attract potential investors, both in Lagos and across the country.

“I want to reassure you that the Lagos State Government would continue to be your partner in progress towards ensuring conducive business environment for investments to thrive in the state.

“We are very much aware that our quest to move Lagos, our dear state, from Nigeria’s biggest commercial city to become a mega or smart city, running on 21st Century economic dynamics, will depend, to a large extent, on our political will to effectively tackle various challenges confronting businesses.

“For us, we see the challenges as great opportunities for further investment and our istration is not only working assiduously to change the narratives, we are also ready to work with willing investors.

“This will help to expand the infrastructure for the benefit of our businesses in particular, our state and nation in general,” he said. (NAN)

Problem is not the policy. It is state hijack by civil servants that prevents this from working. Civil servants have set up multiple toll gates on that particular financing route.

We need to name and shame them

MSME is a scam, give this fund to big companies to expand and employ more youths.

90% of money disbursed for this purpose is not contribute anything to economy but went straight to private pockets

A new avenue for GBola and gang to loot
