The Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs. Pauline Tallen, on Friday urged members of Arewa Business Group to register online to benefit from the federal government’s incentive to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The director, press & public relations in the ministry, Mr. Olujimi Oyetomi, said the minister made the call when Arewa Business Group paid the minister a courtesy visit in Abuja.
The minister encouraged members of the group and others to register online to fulfill the requirements of benefiting from the numerous incentives and soft loans to grow many MSMEs.
Earlier, the group’s deputy president, Jamila Makka, decried the devastation of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the businesses, which had left members devastated and crushed their businesses.
Makka, therefore, solicited the minister’s intervention to benefit from the survival funds and other policies being rolled by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to aid the recovery of MSMEs which were badly set back by Covid-19.
