In Two Months, Nigeria registered about 39,000 Businesses
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registered about 39,000 new businesses in October and November 2018. That is a high level of entrepreneurial interest in a nation. The next phase would be for government to provide support and ensure most of these entities succeed. Just think about it: if each of these entities can absorb, on average, say 5 people in the labour market, 195,000 new families would have better Christmas or Sallah. More jobs for Nigeria. SMEs mean more jobs!
