Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo says the momentum built on the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, MSMEs, sector by the Buhari administration in the last seven years must be maintained given its crucial position in the economy.

He stated this on Monday when he received members of the Made in Nigeria Project led by Adedeji Alebiosu, on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The group, representing a coalition of MSMEs in Nigeria, was at the Presidential Villa to commend the Federal Government and appreciate the Vice President’s support for MSMEs in the country over the past seven years.

The Vice President assured MSME stakeholders in the country that the government would provide everything that is required to enable the incoming administration to step into the positions that have been created in the MSME space.

Osinbanjo pointed out that there is a bigger challenge in manufacturing of items, creating jobs and wealth to ensure that Nigerians think in terms of scale.

Earlier in his remarks, Mr Alebiosu praised Prof. Osinbajo’s personal commitment and support for the growth of small businesses in the country.
