*Gov Badaru At Jigawa MSMEs Clinic: Why Buhari asked VP to lead ESP & recently formed National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy Steering Committee
Impressed with the progress made across the country by Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) on account of the interventions by the Buhari administration, the Federal Government will intensify efforts to address and bottlenecks and challenges facing small businesses in Nigeria so they can grow bigger, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
Prof. Osinbajo stated this Thursday at the 28th edition of the National MSMEs Clinic held in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital. He also commissioned some Jigawa State projects in Dutse during the visit.
The Vice President was received on arrival by Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa and accompanied to the Clinics by the Federal House of Representative Member Hon. Hafiz Ibrahim, among other top officials.
Addressing participants shortly after a tour of the exhibition stands at the MSMEs Clinic, Prof Osinbajo said, “after going round with His Excellency, the Governor, to see the different businesses exhibiting their products and services today, I want to further assure participants that every effort will be made to address the challenges and bottlenecks that they are facing.”
The VP encouraged them to “bring such issues to the attention of the MSMEs Clinics Secretariat to get assistance and quick responses from the relevant agencies.”
On his part, Gov. Badaru thanked the VP for his commitment to the development of the country, and commended his leadership of the National Economic Council, noting that President Buhari knew the capability of the Vice President, “that he will deliver,” adding that was why the President made him the chairman of the Economic Sustainability Programme (ESP) and recently asked him to chair the Steering Committee of the National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy designed to take 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years.
He thanked the VP for his support to the State.
