They were closely followed by Zamani College, Kaduna with 601 points and Queen Amina College also from Kaduna with 546 points. Speaking at the occasion, the Director-General of SMEDAN, Mrs. Modupe Adelaja who is on Global Advisory Board of SAGE, explained the agency’s deep partnership interest in the activities of SAGE Nigeria. “The agency was established by the Federal Government of Nigeria to promote the emergence of a structured and efficient MSME sector that will enhance sustainable economic development of Nigeria. In doing this, we believe there should be no discrimination about our targets- whether they are students, youth, women, and public servants, the physically challenged or even pensioners” she said.

My goal is to form my very own activity since there aren't any good jobs within the market.

Can any person provide any hints or online resources about how to get government grant money to start my personal small business? I have already been looking on the internet but every single site demands for money and I have already been told by the unemployment office to stay away from the sites that want cash for grant information because they are rip-offs. I'd personally be truly thankful for any support.
