Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can be tools for government for the growth of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Speaking yesterday in Abuja while announcing the 2017 annual conference on SMEs development in Nigeria, the National President of the Association of Business Development Professionals in Nigeria (ABDPIN), Franklin Akinyosoye, said when adequately nurtured, SMEs can grow the economy and create wealth for people.
Akinyosoye said SMEs played a key role in the recent exit from recession, attributing it to deliberate government policies.
The consultant for SMEs regretted that most consultants supposedly nurturing SMEs do not even understand how SMEs can be developed
He said his association is at the vanguard of standardising the consultants working for SMEs business development services, removing quacks from the profession and certifying qualified professional business development service providers.
The conference, slated for 3rd and 4th of October in Abuja, would bring together the over 150 members of the association across 15 states as well as other stakeholders to discuss issues of business development service for small businesses in the country.
It will be declared open by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Development, Okechukwu Enelamah.
