The Federal Government has approved
N250 billion for the establishment of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises
(SMEs), Vice President Namadi Sambo, said in Jos on Monday.
Sambo, who spoke at the inauguration
of President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election in Plateau, said that N5 billion
had been allocated to Plateau. He challenged entrepreneurs to take advantage of
the Federal Government’s gesture to explore abundant resources on the Plateau
and open the path to greater industrialization. He said that the Federal
Government had also approved N27 billion for dry season farming on the Plateau
to encourage farmers to take advantage of the good weather to develop their
potential. He said that government had also set up a machinery to consistently
create jobs with a target of 2 million per year.
Sambo disclosed that the rail system
was back on track and explained that rail mass transits would begin in the next
few days. According to him, commuters will be transported from Jos to Port
Harcourt, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, and many other cities.
