A group, J9
Collective, has planned to hold its fourth-anniversary lecture tomorrow,
January 12, 2016 focusing on SMEs to debate and proffer solutions to
burning topical issues affecting our nation.
Founder of Leap
Africa,
Mrs. Ndidi Nwuneli, has been named the keynote speaker of the
lecture scheduled to hold at the MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos with the
theme "SMEs, the engine room of the economy: Who's talking to them?"
According to Mr.
Wole Olagundoye, Chairman, Anniversary Committee of the group: "Every
year, we celebrate our anniversary with various activities, the
high-point of which is our yearly lecture during which we debate and
proffer solutions to burning topical issues affecting our nation. This
year, rebuilding our economy is one of the Federal Government's
priorities hence we are focusing on SMEs, being the major driver of true
economic growth."
In the same vein,
J9 Collective's Publicity Secretary, Michael Effiong, said that the
group believes that if the SME sector is galvanised in terms of
favourable funding, friendly tax regimes and other support services, it
would not only jump-start our economy but move Nigeria closer to its
dream of being an economic powerhouse.
