Vice President Kashim Shettima has departed the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, en route to Akure, Ondo State, where he is expected to attend the 7th Expanded National MSME Clinics.

The event, holding at the International Culture and Event Centre (The Dome), Alagbaka, is themed “Ondo 2025” and is designed to promote and support Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as part of the Federal Government’s strategy for economic growth and grassroots empowerment under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The Expanded MSME Clinics serve as a platform that brings together key regulatory agencies to address the pressing challenges facing small businesses. It also features exhibitions, on-site investment opportunities, and direct engagement with entrepreneurs across five core focus areas: funding, skills development, infrastructure, market access, and technology.

This initiative reflects the Federal Government’s commitment to strengthening the MSME sector as a catalyst for job creation and inclusive economic development.
