President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced that 21 shared MSME facilities established across 19 states and the Federal Capital Territory are supporting businesses and an estimated 650,000 jobs nationwide. This initiative is part of the Federal Government's investment in shared MSME hubs through the National MSME Clinics under his administration's Renewed Hope agenda. The facilities aim to provide entrepreneurs with access to modern equipment, reliable power, and production facilities.
The President disclosed this in a post on his X handle, highlighting the government's efforts to support small businesses. According to Tinubu, the initiative is designed to give entrepreneurs access to modern equipment, reliable power, and production facilities without requiring them to bear the full cost of acquiring such infrastructure. This move is expected to help small businesses expand production and create more jobs.
Tinubu emphasized that small businesses, such as tailoring and food processing, should not be required to invest millions of naira in industrial machinery or build factories before they can expand production. He noted that Nigerian entrepreneurs possess ideas, skills, and ambition but often lack access to the tools and infrastructure required to turn those capabilities into successful and sustainable businesses.
The President stated that the government's job is to remove the barriers hindering small businesses from succeeding. When small businesses gain access to the necessary infrastructure, they can increase production at lower costs, become more competitive, and expand their workforce. This, in turn, will create more income and opportunities for Nigerian families.
Tinubu stressed that providing Nigerian enterprises with the tools to succeed is central to building prosperity from the ground up. He believes that stronger small businesses will create more income and opportunities for Nigerian families. The President's initiative aims to address the challenges faced by small businesses and promote economic growth.
The National MSME Clinics are part of the government's efforts to support small businesses and promote economic growth.
