The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) on Thursday equipped 90 entrepreneurs with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills to drive technology adoption for businesses in the country.

At the formal ending ceremony of the first part of the National Vocational Training and Entrepreneurial Scheme on ICT, which took place on Thursday in Lagos, the recipients received equipment for digital marketing, phone repairs, and personal computers.

According to Mr. Olawale Fasanya, Director General of SMEDAN, the program’s goal is to give business owners e-commerce know-how to increase their contribution to the nation’s GDP (GDP).

He claimed the members’ dedication would spur government action after an impact assessment.

He urged the beneficiaries to take advantage of the training program’s prospects to the fullest and pledged support for MSMEs in order to foster their expansion.

“ICT skill development is one of the priority areas identified by the agency to facilitate and sustain a vibrant MSME sub-sector that will be the major driver of national economic growth and development.

“The objective of the programme is to develop participants and train the network of businesses, while promoting computer literacy as ICT is a means of granting access to the world market,” he said.

He claimed that small enterprises may employ downloaded software for business communication and document exchange, as well as online accounting systems.

“It is key to note that some of the business challenges like cybercrime, phishing, online theft would be tackled and must not hinder participants from harnessing the opportunities available to them.

“SMEDAN will continue to support towards ensuring that we achieve the MSMEs sub-sector of our dream in the areas of job creation, wealth creation and poverty alleviation,” he said.
