Entrepreneurs in Small, Micro and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have been educated on the skills to reach a global market audience. The training was done by the Nigerian Fellowship of Evangelical Students Alumni Association (NIFESAF), Lagos State chapter, for its members in the SME value chain during the 4th edition of its Business Career Exhibition, held in Lagos recently.

Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the Global Body, Nigerian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (NIFES), Enugu State University of Technology (ESUT) Alumni Fellowship, Fred Nnadike, said that the essence of the business exhibition was to support and build a community of excellent Christians who would be role models in their respective careers.
Nnadike, who urged believers under their umbrella to keep the faith alive, equally charged them to uphold ethical standards, sound corporate governance and avoid sharp practices in their respective professions and business endeavours, as ardent followers of Christ.
He said: “We want to encourage what we produce and link our entrepreneurs to the global space. SMEs are indispensable for economic growth and development.
“The government across the board should do something urgently to revive the economy by making the environment conducive for businesses to thrive.” On his part, the Lagos State chapter Chairman of the Fellowship, Henry Nnadike, said that the leadership of NIFESAF has often reminded the government that MSMEs are still the engine room of every strong economy, and any government that neglects them does that at its peril.
