The Presidency has said feedback from across the country
indicates that the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises, MSMEs, Survival Fund is
achieving the desired result of giving succour to small businesses.
Tola Johnson, the Special Assistant to President Muhammadu
Buhari on MSMEs, attached to the Office of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo
disclosed this while giving an update on the ongoing implementation of MSMEs
Survival Fund on Tuesday in Abuja, NAN reports.
The Survival Fund Scheme for MSMEs is captured under the
National Economic Sustainability Plan drafted by the Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo-led Economic Sustainability Committee and approved by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
He said: “The assurance we are giving Nigerians is that this
scheme was approved by the president; he has made provisions for the funding of
the scheme.
“Nothing is going to change; nothing is going to affect the
approval; nothing is going to affect the implementation of the programme; nothing
is going to affect the financial inclusion in the scheme, so whatever was
promised to Nigerians will be adhered to.
“You can see from across the country that people have
started receiving salaries from the scheme; artisans have started getting funding;
people have started registering new businesses and all these are not going to
stop.
“We are going into the next track- the Guaranteed Off take;
we are going into the transport scheme and we are going to execute the general
grant; nothing has changed in the scheme in terms of implementation.’’

Apparently, this feedback is coming from those who looted the funds on behalf of the actual recipients. This country na serious "one chance".
