This means LSME will not only be bridging the gap between small businesses and needed strategies to operate a successful enterprise in Nigeria's complex business environment, the growth hub foundation will also support SMEs within the country financially.
The seminar will continue to equip young entrepreneurs with effective solutions to improve their business growth, especially during this post-COVID-19 period, as SMEs are still struggling to recover from the negative impact of the pandemic and lockdown.
