The Maiden Edition of the Kogi MSME Workshop and Unveiling of Kogi MSME CLINIC to commemorate the International MSME Day which was held on Wednesday 29th June, 2022 at the Kogi State Government House, Lokoja recorded a huge success. 

I owe this to the Almighty God and the commitment, support and unrelenting goodwill of my boss,  His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello who in words and actions continues to demonstrate great passion towards the Kogi Enterprise Development Agency and the enhancement of the MSME sector – which is what our agency represents.

My profound gratitude to Mrs Folashade Arike Ayoade, PhD, Secretary to the Government of Kogi State who honoured us not only with her presence but viable lessons to last a lifetime.

I want to appreciate our speakers, Alhaji Alwan Ali Hassan, Managing Director, Bank of Agriculture, Mrs Ifeoma Akabogu, Manager, Bank of Industry, Mrs Kuriyetu Ogirima, Regulatory Officer, National Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), and Prof John Olatunji Alabi PhD FNIM FCEnt FCAI FIICA FCSBE FCGPE FTIME CNA.
