Charles Odii, the Director General of SMEDAN, led impactful initiatives that resulted in significant job opportunities and the facilitation of over N7 billion in funding for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
Under Odii’s leadership, SMEDAN also secured a groundbreaking agreement with Sterling Bank, unlocking a N5 billion fund at single-digit interest rates to empower businesses. With over 200,000 applications received, the due diligence process is underway for disbursement of funds.
