LAGOS State Government yesterday commenced implementation of the National Policy on Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with the inauguration of the Lagos State Council on MSME.
The state also flagged off the first Lagos State MSME Exclusive fair and the ‘Purchase Made-in-Lagos: Create Employment” campaign to boost patronage for products of MSMEs.
Speaking at the inauguration of the council and the fair, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, said that the establishment of the Lagos State Council on MSMEs is to ensure proper coordination of MSME subsector in the state and to key into the implementation of the National Policy on MSMEs.
Ambode, who was represented by the Deputy Governor of the State, Mrs Oluranti Adebule, charged members of the Council to identify MSMEs operating in the state and recommend how the state can enhance their productivity so that they can truly serve as bedrock for the economic development of the state.
