In commemoration of World MSME Day, the Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Economic Development Initiative (SEEDi) has called on the Federal Government to begin the process of producing a Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) development plan in Nigeria. This is in order to assist small businesses with the challenges they face such as access to capital, multiple taxees, high cost of doing business, stifling business ecosystems and reducing purchasing power of the masses.

Lead Partner, SEEDi, Celestine Okeke, urged government to direct its Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) saddled with the responsibilities of promoting small businesses to begin the process of producing an MSME development plan.
