WE ARE KEEN TO DEVELOP ENTERPRISES : BANIGO

Rivers State Deputy Governor Dr. Mrs. Ipalibo Harry Banigo says the State Government has a keen interest in the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) in the State.

Dr. Banigo stated this in her keynote address at the Annual Free Skills Acquisition Programme organized by the Redemption Ministries, Eastern By-Pass in Port Harcourt, on Monday, 20^th August, 2018.

According to Dr. Banigo Micro Small and Medium Enterprises is a sure way to go in the quest to increase the Gross Domestic Product of a country, noting that 99.5% of businesses in Germany fall under this category.

She said as part of deliberate efforts to aid Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, the State Chief Executive, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike inaugurated the Micro Finance Agency and released 2 Billion to reach out and develop these enterprises.

 Dr. Banigo further disclosed that there is also a N200 Million Monthly Revolving Loan to encourage young entrepreneurs in the State and urged participants to key into it, stressing that Government has created an enabling environment for businesses to thrive through the harmonization of taxes in the State.

Welcoming the Deputy Governor, President, Men Ablaze of Redemption Ministries Rev. Basil Sunday said the Free Skills Acquisition Programme is part of the church’s way of supporting Government to reduce unemployment and poverty, by empowering people with specialized skills which will enable them to become key players in the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Sector of the economy.
