Speaking, the director-general/CEO of SMEDAN, Olawale Fasanya, stated that, skill development in ICT among women and youth is one of the critical priority areas identified by the SMEDAN in her pursuit to facilitate and sustain a vibrant MSMEs sub-sector that will be the major driver of national economic growth and development.

He noted that the MSMEs sub-sector is significant to sustainable economic development and the Agency is facilitating the establishment of a structured and efficient MSMEs sub-sector that can access all the resources required for their development.

According to Fasanya, the strategic training on e-commerce (online marketing), computer repairs and GSM repairs is therefore another proof of the Agency’s concerted effort aimed at inculcating entrepreneurship values, emergence of new MSMEs among youths and profitable expansion of existing MSMEs.
