 Let me begin by congratulating all our award winners this evening. This event is solely for you and about you and the millions of young entrepreneurs and businesses doing spectacular things in this country. You've been recognized for your innovation, for your hard work and your commitment to your visions. But also your achievements are the ramparts upon which our new and increasingly diversified economy is based. What Nigeria hopes to be in the next few decades will depend on what your business has become and what your business has become depends, as we know, on the friendliness of the regulatory environment, capital availability infrastructure, especially power and today broadband connectivity. So we recognize that our future national prosperity will be consummated by the handshake between the business environment and talents and creativity. This is why we have been working hard on changing the orientation of our regulators, even as we digitalize their operations and there has been considerable progress. Regulators are much more attuned to the notion that they are first facilitators before being the commercial police or standard enforcers. To get more MSMEs to formalize their businesses, the Corporate Affairs Commission, the CAC, offered a special 50% discount on business name registration for MSMEs and they've recently extended that initial period by another 90 days. Very recently, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration, NAVDAC, stayed action on the planned increase of tariffs on MSME-related products and they have also promised to strive to ensure that government requirements are in no way burdensome. To the entrepreneurial economy, on access to low-cost financing for MSMEs, various government agencies and institutions are also hard at work. The Development Bank of Nigeria, the Bank of Industry, Nexim and the new Nassau, the new Nassau Microfinance Bank and others. We are also working with commercial banks to see how we can very quickly achieve single-digit interest rates for loans to MSMEs with a tunnel of between 5 to 10 years and a repairment moratorium of at least one year in each case. I'm pleased to say that the Bank of Industry has also signaled its commitment to this whole project by setting aside the MSME Clinic's BOI fund. This loan will be available to all MSMEs in Nigeria, regardless of whether they participated in the clinics or not. And even as we expect that this new fund will bring some immediate benefit to MSMEs, we're not oblivious of the bigger challenge of the number of MSMEs that need to access loans without bottlenecks. One of our MSME focus priorities is in being able to offer affordable world-class equipment for MSMEs across the country. To achieve this, the MSME clinics will commence a shared facility scheme in partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria, with the Bank of Industry, with Nexim Bank and other private sector partners. These shared facilities, which we started sometime last year in Oyo Ambauchi States and also we've done a few others, but the first and the most successful so far have been the ones in Oyo Ambauchi State. But we hope that by the first quarter of 2019, we will be able to provide MSMEs with affordable shared access to essential amenities like power, high quality operating equipment, broadband connectivity, as we help to reduce the cost of their operations. Close to 1.5 million MSMEs will benefit directly from the first phase. Each of the 36 states and the FCT will have a minimum of one shared facility, which will be located in identified clusters where MSMEs already operate in significant numbers, such as, for example, Obunike in Anambra State, Ikota Basi in Aqaibom, the computer village in Lagos, Wamako in Sokoto, Okum in Benwe, Soba in Kaduna State, and Egbe Yewa in Ogun State, Aruchuku also in Abia State, to mention just a few. And you can see the full list of the MSMEs and the MSME locations, the clusters that will benefit and the states in the brochures that you have with you already. All of it is contained in your programs. So let me again commend the MSME clinics team for their hard work and for consistently keeping the clinics at the cutting edge of innovation. While again congratulating the awardees, and in particular, the federal government awardees for excellence, social impact, Tara Drutui for entertainment, Ali Baba, the BOI Outstanding MSME Participant Female Nora Onwasoya, the NEXIM Outstanding MSME Participant Male Aminu Uba Miko, the Access Bank MSME of the Year Awodi Oluptayo Ifeolua, and the FRS Award for the Most Supportive MSME State, Anambra State. I must also thank some of last year's awardees who are here today. I'd like to especially mention Jerry Malo, the CEO of Benny Agro and the winner of the MSME of the Year Award of 2018. And that was an inaugural edition last year. Indeed, Jerry has been a worthy ambassador of both the MSME clinics and the National MSME Awards, using his influence as winner to galvanize small business owners in Plato State and around the country. Here is a man who has stood out as a true success story and is showing the way to several other entrepreneurs like himself. I must also thank the governor of Plato State for the support that is made available and also for the special award that he gave to the father of the winner of the award last year. I thank the governor of Kaduna State for his keen interest and support for MSME clinics and of course the governor of Anambra State and present here also being represented the governors of Abia State and his excellence in the governor of Quarra State and the governor of Nassaroa State represented today by the deputy governor of Nassaroa State. There is no doubt that working together federal and state governments can quickly and considerably improve the business environment in Nigeria. The economic future of our country is very bright indeed and with the energy and talents of these young men and women it can only get brighter and it can only get better. Thank you very much everyone for making the time to come today and for encouraging young businesses and MSMEs across the country. God bless you all. Thank you.
