Shettima said: “We remain committed to providing support, fostering an enabling environment, and improving access to finance for MSMEs, especially in these unprecedented times.
“We urge all stakeholders to come together to champion the growth and success of MSMEs to achieve sustainable development for all, while we also recognise the plethora of issues that face MSMEs as a result of the subsidy removal. However, the government is working urgently to ensure quick access to single digit loans for Nigerian small businesses within the shortest time possible.”
