Nigeria SME Summit and Awards 2018, geared towards charting the way forward for the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sub-sector of the economy and recognising operators who have strived, against all odds, to be the engine of economic growth, holds later this year, according to the organisers.

LakewhyteCommunications said the event, which has the backing of the body overseeing the sub-sector in the country, the Small and Medium Enterprises Development agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), will also recognise individuals, government bodies and corporate bodies who have been at the forefront of the efforts to promote SMEs in the country.

“Whereas this is the first edition, but it will be subsequently held annually”, the organisers said. The organisers noted that the developed nations across the world achieved that status following the attention they gave to SMEs, saying no effort should be spared to get SMEs to live up to expectation
as the engine of economic growth.

Stakeholders, including captains of industry, seasoned academicians, regulatory bodies and government, are expected to brainstorm on the challenges faced in the sub-sector and proffer solution.
