The Delta Economic Summit Group (DESG) has
empowered several agripreneurs at a seminar hosted by the Delta Small and Medium Development Agency (DEMSMA) during the
Global Entrepreneurship Week.
The
group’s financial support was complimented by the state agency- DEMSMA, with
the provision of seeds for the agripreneurs, as part of its commitment to the
socio-economic development of Delta State.
The
Director General of DESG, Chukwuka Monye,
delivered a presentation on “Being
Investment Ready and Credit Worthy”, explaining the need for beneficiaries
of any form of loan to be disciplined and repay on time and consistently.
Monye
also spoke on the importance of private sector involvement in closing some of
the social and financial gaps that currently exist in the state, adding that
private sector players can participate in the capacity building of the
indigenes.
The
Executive Secretary of DEMSMA, Ms.
Shimite Bello, urged the attendees to remember that success in business is
about being productive. She also advised everyone to remember that funding is
not always the key requirement in a successful venture and therefore, people
should think about their ventures in a holistic manner in order to explore the
real business elements that matter.
Other
partners of the event included ICM MFB, Aspire MFB, Zenith Bank, Sterling Bank,
Businessday Newspaper and Community Newspaper. (Guardian)
