The Delta State Government is partnering the World Bank under the aegis of the Delta Cares Programme (DCP) as part of its efforts to cushion the effects of the COVID-19 on small scale businesses in the state.
This was disclosed by the State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, while briefing newsmen on some recent resolutions of the State Executive Council.
Aniagwu explained that the Executive Secretary of the Delta State Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Agency (DSMSMEA), Mrs. Orezi Esievo, would manage the state government’s end of the deal with the World Bank.
He, however, stressed that emphasis would be on assisting the micro and small scale enterprises because these categories of businesses have been worse hit by the impact of the COVI-19 pandemic than the medium scale businesses, which are relatively more stable financially.
