President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his administration’s commitment to promoting the growth of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) in the country.

Tinubu, who made the expression at the 8th Expanded National MSME Clinic in Calabar on Wednesday, said that Nigerians had no reason to be poor.

Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, he said that the country had boundless human and natural resources at her disposal.
The president said that Cross River as a state had the capacity to grow almost every crop because of its fertile land.
“The Federal Government intends to plant 100 million oil palm trees. More than any other state, Cross River has an advantage,” he said.

Tinubu further said that upon assumption of office his government guaranteed access to capital and pledged to support ventures that would redefine the future of work, skills and industry.

He commended the Cross River Government for establishing a state-of-the-art communication and technology hub for MSMEs, saying “this aligns the state with trends in digital technology. The hub will give MSMEs affordable access to high-speed internet, modern equipment and a collaborative space to learn and innovate. Remember that the digital world is a window to diverse markets.

“The digital world has space for the market woman in Ikom, the furniture maker in Calabar and the fashion designer in Ogoja, Ugep or Odukpani. This is why my administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda is a commitment to creating an environment where MSMEs do not only survive but thrive. Our commitment is not just to give loans or grants but to build an ecosystem that provides infrastructure and enhances the creativity of entrepreneurs,” he said.
In his speech, Gov. Bassey Otu described the 8th MSME Clinic as a special purpose initiative between Cross River and the Federal Government.

Otu said that the essence was to enhance the entrepreneurial spirit of the citizens and grow the economy of the state.
He said that through the Micro Finance and Enterprise Development Agency, the state government had trained no fewer than 3,500 entrepreneurs in different facets of entrepreneurship.
The governor stated that the gains of MSMEs were boundless, noting that with collective exploration, it has the capacity to raise the people’s standard of living.

Otu commended the president for his foresight and expressed the commitment of the state government to support the realisation of his Renewed Hope Agenda.

Mr Pius Neji, the Head, Bank of Industry (BOI) Cross River office, said that the bank was a fundamental friend and partner in progress to entrepreneurs.

Neji said that BOI had been giving out funds to assist businesses in the rural areas and that it had already disbursed about N260 million to MSMEs in the state.
“Cross River is a good place for our entrepreneurs and the state has what it takes to make Nigeria greater. The industrialisation of Cross River can take Nigeria to the next level,” he said. (NAN)
