Platform for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), entrepreneurs and startups, MSME Africa, has celebrated its first year anniversary with a business pitch contest.

Highlighting its achievements, Founder of MSME Africa, Seye Olurotimi, said they’re delighted about this achievement and look forward to doing more. He added that they have reached over 195,000 MSMEs across their platforms and expressions in the last one year. “We have curated and provided information about over 350 opportunities for MSMEs, entrepreneurs and startups and people have taken advantage of the opportunities to better their lots in business and their personal lives.

He said the platform has also partnered with different groups and organisations like Facebook through Digivate 360 to provide digital marketing training for entrepreneurs and the Credit Bureau Association of Nigeria to provide capacity- building through webinars. He added that the quarterly MSME Dialogue featured Onyeka Akumah of Farmcrowdy, Goke Balogun of So Fresh, David Lanre Messan of First Founders, Charles Ojei of HYBR, Segun Adaju, President of Renewable Energy Association of Nigeria, Fatma Nasujo of Sokowatch, Kenya and Rex Mafiana of FPG Technologies, among others.

Speaking on The African Business Environment And Prosperity Of MSMEs, Adaju, who was guest speaker at the webinar, noted that poor electricity supply, inadequate funding, poor infrastructure and insecurity were militating against the business environment in Nigeria and Africa. He canvassed urgent solutions to issues affecting the MSME sector, which contributes to employment and Africa’s Gross Domestic Product and urged MSMEs to form cooperative societies, embrace alternative sources of power like solar, continually seek information and take advantage of opportunities available in the ecosystem.
