Vice President Kashim Shettima yesterday inaugurated the Ultra-Modern MSME Clinics Fashion & ICT Hubs in Makurdi.
The former Borno State governor, who expressed confidence that the hub would match global standards, with the potential to create roughly 48,000 jobs annually in Benue State, said:
“The speed at which the hub was built after the MSMEs Clinic was launched in the state earlier this year was a clear indication that promises made by the Tinubu administration to entrepreneurs were not mere rhetoric”, according to presidential statement.
Shettima, represented by Deputy Chief of Staff to the President (Office of the Vice President) Ibrahim Hadejia, said: “Today, as we inaugurate this dual-purpose MSME Clinic, we bear witness to two critical truths.
“First, it proves that our promises to entrepreneurs are not mere rhetoric. “Secondly, it affirms that the most durable interventions we can achieve as a government are born from strong intergovernmental partnerships. We are delighted to witness the fruition of these projects, and I am honoured to be part of this milestone.”
He said the Benue Fashion & ICT Hub and other hubs as well as shared facilities established across Nigeria are the Federal Government’s intervention targeted at fostering a conducive business and regulatory environment for MSMEs in the country to thrive and prosper
