MSME Clinics
The MSME Clinics is an initiative of the Office of the Vice President, in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment and 11 Federal Agencies, to create a platform for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises to interact with Federal Agencies and obtain practical and on-the-spot solutions to their business challenges. These solutions include on-the-spot business registrations, processing of approvals/licenses, advisory, capacity building, and so on.

The MSME Clinics was launched by Acting President Osinbajo on January 24, 2017 in Abuja. Since then, Clinics have been organized in 6 cities: Aba, Ilorin, Sokoto, Jos. Katsina, Calabar. A total of 8,700 MSMEs have so far benefited from the Clinics across the six locations.

The participating Federal Agencies are: Bank of Agriculture (BOA), Bank of Industry (BOI), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Industrial Training Fund (ITF), National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Nigerian Export Import Bank (NEXIM), Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), and the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON).

To ensure post-Clinic continuity of support, there's a plan in place to collaborate with State Governments to set up State-level 'One Stop Shops' for MSMEs, at which relevant Federal and State Agencies (e.g Inland Revenue Services) will be required to have Desk Officers who will provide ongoing support to MSMEs.
