To ensure economic growth and promote youth inclusiveness in regional development in the Niger Delta, there is a need to invest in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as a catalyst to create employment and ensure global competitiveness.
This was a position canvassed at the maiden edition of the Niger Delta Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Summit 2021 which was held at the Aztech Event Centre, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Speaking at the event, the Convener of the Summit and Chairman Mosilo Group who is also the Founder of Nigerian Young Professionals Forum (NYPF) and Niger Delta Young Professionals, under which umbrella the summit was organized, Mr. Moses Siloko Siasia, in his opening remark noted that the greatest contributory factor to the growth in Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a collection of the committed efforts from young people.
