SMEDAN secures N1bn matching fund to support SMEs

The matching fund pact with the state kicked off this quarter with an initial injection of ₦250 million from the state government. The pact was signed at the agency’s headquarters during the visit of Katsina State Governor, Dr Dikko Umaru Radda, to SMEDAN Director-General, Charles Odii, in Abuja.

The agreement marked another milestone of Odii’s ongoing efforts to facilitate financial access for SMEs nationwide. The pack is similar to agreements previously signed with the Anambra and Enugu state governments.
