The federal government yesterday blamed its various agencies and parastatals responsible for facilitating the ease of doing business in the country for creating bottlenecks in doing business in the country.

Speaking at the official launching of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) at the Banquet Hall of presidential villa, Abuja, Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo lamented the challenges faced by SMEs owners in doing businesses in the country.

Accordingly, he called on them to change their attitude and see themselves as facilitators in SME growth in the country.

Osinbajo said, “Nigerians complain about how is practically difficult to get approval on practically everything when I toured the nation with the support of USAID. The whole idea was to support MSMEs and to find out what their problems were.

“But almost every stand I went to had complains about how it was so difficult to get approvals for practically anything. I was frankly taken back on that occasion because practically every point we went to had the same complaint. We also went to Kano on one of our social intervention programme and it was the same problem, same issues”.

The acting president noted that some small manufacturers even said they had to engage consultants to take them through approval processes; yet, it still took over a year to get approval from some agencies.

While FG are frustrating and killing it citizens via hunger or friendly bombing.

...and when you are in business you deal with multiple taxation,cost on security and electricity and if your line of work involves mass transportation of your products, add hours wasted on transition due to bad road,traffic and the police/VIO

This is stupid.

Nigerian leaders and their appointees are the same, share all the income and save abroad.
Extort all you can from the masses for your daily need because the billions abroad is specifically for your generation unborn.
Again deny all wrong doing leveled against you and tag the people that expose you witch hunters.
Which way naija?

And the blame game continues

Thank God GEJ has now fully served his BLAME TERM.

But it is sad that Osinbajo doesn't understand the implication of blaming Agencies under his watch for failure.

The buck stops at his Superior's table and so they both is to blame for obnoxious policies.

I #BlameTheNASS.
