The Vice President, Kashim Shettima, will on Tuesday declare open the Expanded National Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Business Clinics in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

This is part of the vice president’s one-day visit to Ogun State on Tuesday.

The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Lekan Adeniran, explained that the Expanded National MSMEs Business Clinic is an initiative of the federal government executed in collaboration with state governments.

“It is geared towards providing lasting solutions to the challenges hindering the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), helping MSMEs have access to capital, formalize their businesses, and also exhibit their products among others.

“The clinic would allow small business owners to meet regulatory bodies like the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), and others as well as feature grant presentations to qualified MSMEs,” he said.

He explained that the vice president would also inaugurate the Fashion Hub project at the Old OGTV auditorium “where over 150 state-of-the-art tailoring equipment have been provided for stakeholders in the fashion industry as well as the Adire shared facility at Asero, Abeokuta.”
