President Bola Tinubu has been urged to support Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), to tackle economic austerity.
The charge was given by the National Coordinator of Forward Ever Initiative, Ahmed Bello, in a statement yesterday.
Bello, also, said the government should support and partner with organisations that have been at the forefront in reducing poverty like the Global Youth Skills Acquisition and Poverty Eradication Organisation (GYSAPEO).
“As a civil society organization, we have seen the success level of GYSAPEO Market Money Scheme led by Dr Emmanuel Chuks Ozegbe which is providing an enabling environment for SMEs to thrive and expand their operations.
“The organization’s efforts in recognizing the crucial role played by SMEs in Nigeria’s economic landscape, is unparalleled.
“We ask the Federal Government to partner with the GYSAPEO Market Money Scheme to provide much funds needed for the project with immediate effect to ease the pain of Nigerians and promote SMEs.
“We understand what the project GYSAPEO Market Money Scheme is all about. It is a project where small and business owners with small loans are supported.
“The NGO trains people on business, evaluates them, empowers them and mentor them to grow from one point to the other in their small scale business,” he said.
