The government’s harsh policies are inflicting pain on SMEs in Nigeria. The government needs to take action to ease the burdens many Nigerian businesses face. The sectors that contribute 48% of Nigeria’s GDP and employ many people should not be going through what some are currently experiencing. The government needs to act urgently for economic growth, says Beady Nnanna, the convener of the Business Summit and Fair (BSAF), during the annual event’s fifth edition, which included physically challenged business owners, held on 17th October 2024<\/div>\n
