The Nigerian government has continued to vote several billions of naira into initiatives for job creation/ financing Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises with no attempt ever made to review the initiatives.

MSME-ASI recently conducted a review of the past five years activities of the following agencies;

SMEDAN- Small & Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria

NDE- National Directorate of Employment

NEPC- Nigeria Export Promotion Council

ITF- Industrial Training Fund

DFD,CBN- Development Finance Department, Central Bank of Nigeria

The findings clearly indicate an absence of coordination and strategic framework for all the interventions previously and presently undertaken and hence our call for the review of all past job creation initiatives.
