President Bola Tinubu has ordered the disbursement of a N150,000 grant to each participant of the Expanded National MSME Clinic. Vice President Kashim Shettima made the announcement on Thursday at the opening of the third edition of the MSME Clinic, held at the Trade Fair Complex on Old Iyin Road, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.<\/p>\n
The Expanded National MSME Clinics, an initiative by the federal government, aim to improve the ease of doing business across Nigeria. These clinics, organized in various cities nationwide, provide on-the-spot solutions to challenges faced by MSMEs.<\/p>\n
Vice President Shettima emphasized that the N150,000 grant is a non-repayable gesture from the government. \u201cI am pleased to share that Mr. President has directed me to ensure that all outstanding exhibiting MSMEs at the Clinic receive a grant of N150,000 each. This is an outright grant, and the beneficiaries will not need to repay it,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Shettima also announced plans to launch similar clinics in Borno and Enugu States, culminating in the National MSME Awards in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on June 27, coinciding with the United Nations World MSME Day. He highlighted the crucial role of small businesses in the nation\u2019s economy, describing them as \u201cthe lifelines of communities across the nation and a strong pillar of stability during this critical phase of our economic transition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Senate Leader Senator Opeyemi Bamidele praised the collaboration between the federal and state governments, which has resulted in the execution of MSME-focused projects. He revealed plans to allocate a portion of his constituency project funds to support the development of MSMEs in the coming year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
