Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), has asked relevant Ministries, Departments, and Agencies of government to support the “hustle” of Nigerians, IgbereTV reports.
At the yearly review of how Federal Government agencies relate with Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in the country, the Vice President asserted that one critical role of the MDAs is to create a conducive and enabling business environment for the citizens.
Prof. Osinbajo made this assertion on Monday during the MSME Clinics Stakeholders’ review meeting at the Presidential Villa which was attended by heads and representatives of agencies including SMEDAN, BOI, NEXIM BOA, SON, FIRS, NAFDAC, and others.
He said, “everybody knows that Nigerians are enterprising, practically every Nigerian has some kind of business, as they say, some hustle or some other things that they are doing.
“People need the right environment and that is what our role is, to ensure that we understand that it is to facilitate and make it easier, not to become a stumbling block or a tollgate,” the VP stated while reiterating that the agencies’ job is to make things easy for the MSMEs to do their business.
