It is one that describes your sheer capacity to take on multiple endeavours at a time, and yet delivering flawlessly.
In the last one year and still continue that you assumed the leadership of the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency, SMEDAN, as its Director General and Chief Executive Officer, CEO, you have not only built on the foundation of your predecessors, but have incredibly re-wrote the narrative of the agency.
To say that you have gradually repositioned SMEDAN towards actualizing its core mandates is of course. I have no scintilla of doubt that with this your latest academic feat, the coast is clear for SMEDAN to outstandingly improve the fortunes of Small and Medium Enterprises, SMES, in the country.
Tapping from the knowledge of your vast and scholarly erudition, I am certain your hardworking SMEDAN staff will be intellectually empowered to design beneficial programmes for Nigerian SMEs’ survival and thriving. Your PhD degree, I dare say, has generally placed you at a vantage point of meticulously studying and analyzing government policies on MSMEs.
