From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from SMEDAN)

Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) is a Nigerian agency that works towards assisting small and medium scale enterprises to overcome poor infrastructure in the management of business operations and accessing financial services.[1] The former director general of the agency, Umar Dikko Radda, left in April 2022 to pursue a political career. He was replaced by Charles Odii.[2][3]

Activities

[edit]

On February 9, 2013, SMEDAN signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Industry of Indonesia's Directorate-General of Small and Medium Industries. The MoU is for cooperation in enterprises development between the two countries and inviting Indonesian investors to Nigeria.[4]

In October 2022, the agency organized a packaging and branding programme for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) products with the main objective of exposing them to possibilities within the African Continental Free Trade Area.[5] In April 2023, in collaboration with Niger State, SMEDAN organized a cluster empowerment programme in Minna for businesses involved in the production and marketing of shea butter.[citation needed] The organization has partnered with Bloc, a company that provides tools and software for financial services management targeted at the small and medium sized enterprises for internal processes and for serving their clients.[6]
