In his opening remarks, the Chief Operating Officer, Development Bank of Nigeria, Bonaventure Okhaimo described the program as a game-changer for alternative financing options for MSMEs who are the bedrock of Nigeria’s economic growth.

“This initiative that we have successfully launched today is expected to have a profound impact on the MSME ecosystem, which is a critical driver of economic growth, job and wealth creation in our country. By facilitating easier access to essential equipment, DBN and GIZ are directly addressing one of the major hurdles faced by small businesses, thereby enhancing their competitiveness and capacity for innovation,” he stated.

Head of Programme, GIZ Nigeria/SEDIN, Markus Wauschkuhn, while speaking at the launch said that the Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria constitute a significant portion of the economy, and their importance to the economy cannot be overstated.
