January 23, (THEWILL) – The Ogun State Government has said it will upscale 10,000 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) operating in five specialised areas, including agro-processing, information and communication technology, non-metallic and basic minerals, fashion and textiles, as well as beauty care.

The Commissioner for Industry, Trade and Investment, Mrs. Kikelomo Longe, who made this known in Akute in Ifo Local Government Area of the state, during the second edition of the MSMEs Business Clinic for the Isheri/Akute Zone, said the state government was committed to helping intending entrepreneurs.

Longe, who was represented by the permanent secretary in the ministry, Mr Olu Aikulola, said the Dapo Abiodun administration would do everything possible to address the challenges facing MSMEs in order to aid their growth through the clinic and contribute to the economic development of the state.

“These Business Clinics are meant to sensitise and expose entrepreneurs to the immense opportunities available for starting and scaling up their businesses. Our goal is to help MSMEs thrive and have a fair play in the market,” she said.

Speaking, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr Remi Ogunmefun, said that the current administration in the state had organised the clinic across five zones to assist small business owners to access capital, improve on market access and grow their ventures.

In his remark, the General Manager, Ogun State Agricultural and Multipurpose Credit Agency, Mr Olugbenga Abolaji-Israel, called on participants who were yet to start their business to identify and tap the opportunities around them.

Speaking on behalf of the participants, Miss Oluwatosin Abiade and Mr Adeyemi Ogunsanya lauded the state government for organising the clinic, affirming that it had linked them with various development partners and provided support for their businesses.
