SMEs are rocking it for Nigeria: "Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Amb. Mariam Yalwaji Katagum has said that the Micro, Small and Medium Entreprises (MSMEs) sector accounted for about 76% of the nation’s labour force and contributes about 50% to the Gross Domestic Product ( GDP).
