In recognition of his exceptional leadership and contributions to MSME development in Nigeria, our Director-General, Mr. Charles O. Odii, has been honoured with the “Best Performing Youth in Government Agencies Award” by the Christian Youth Movement for Tinubu/Shettima, exactly one year after assuming office.
At SMEDAN, we’re proud of our commitment to empowering Nigerian youths through initiatives like Talent Hunt, Mindshift, One Local Government, One Product (OLOP), Agribusiness Development and Empowerment Programme (ADEP), and Matching Fund.
Our partnerships with financial institutions and state governments have democratized access to business finance, supporting youth entrepreneurship and creating a more enabling environment for MSMEs to thrive.
This award is a testament to our Director-General’s vision and dedication. We congratulate him on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to continued success.
