OGSG empowers 5,000 MSME’s operators in novel MSME clinic

About 5,000 traders in Ogun State have benefitted from the first phase of the State’s Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) clinic embarked upon by the Dapo Abiodun administration.

The novel MSME Clinic which was established for smooth takeoff and operations of micro, small and medium-sized businesses, is designed to improve financial inclusion, offer credit facilities, register new businesses and facilitate exports of goods manufactured in the state.

Speaking on the desired economic impacts of the MSME Clinic, Sola Arobieke, consultant to the state governor on Commerce and Industry, said during the MSMEs Clinic held in Ijebu-Ode, one of the major cities in the state, that the programme is meant to improve ease of doing business by giving MSMEs operators the needed facilities that improve their businesses.
Arobieke said that the MSMEs Clinic was in fulfilment of the campaign promises of Governor Abiodun to empower more traders in their businesses towards boosting the state’s local economy, adding that prerequisite economic stimulus is being created by State government to ensure speedy economic growth.
According to her, over 5,000 participants from Ogun East benefitted in the areas of business registrations, product registration, access to bank loans, exportation and other incentives that bordered on setting up businesses and MSMEs growth.

Arobieke however, charged the participants to make good use of the opportunity availed them and make judicious use of the fund, so they could assess more, saying government is working in synergy with bodies like National Association of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (NASMEs), Small and Medium Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), Association of Small Business Owners Association of Nigeria (ASBON) and other small business owners to facilitate creation of more business outlets to ameliorate the sufferings of the less-privileged.
Also, the Deputy Speaker, Ogun State House of Assembly, Oludare Kadiri, called on the beneficiaries to reciprocate the gesture to improve on livelihood, promising that the State legislature was ready to make laws that would enhance the growth of MSMEs.

The MSME Clinic held in Ijebu-Ode witnessed the registration of 120 new businesses by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), while about 720 new bank account holders opened accounts with partnered banks like Access Bank, Zenith Bank and Sterling Bank.

The next phase of the MSMEs business clinic has been scheduled to hold on Wednesday, October 30, 2019 at the Centenary Hall, Ake, Abeokuta.
