The Centre for Management Development (CMD) has hinted of its commitment towards advancing the development and promotion of high standards of management education and entrepreneurial development for sustainable entrepreneurial success in the country.
Director-General of CMD, Mr. Bitrus Chinoko, who dropped the hint at the opening ceremony of the Centre’s free business performance improvement series for small business owners and potential operators in Lagos, said it would lead to the provision of starter packs to beneficiaries to enable them to be self-sustaining and contribute to economic development.
A statement from CMD’s Media Consultant, Mallam Abdulkadir Ahmed Ibrahim, quoted Chinoko as saying that the series of training programmes are expected to stimulate positive responses from the state governments, legislators and development agencies.
Represented by the Director, Economic Management Department of the CMD, Dr. Modinat Olusoji, the Director General, stressed that no economy can develop when its human capital is not continuously developed.
Chinoko further said that it was with such focus that the Centre had lined up series of designed programmes for actual and potential small business operators to equip them with requisite entrepreneurial knowledge, skills and right attitude to overcome some environmental challenges.
Also speaking, the Director, Entrepreneurship and Business Development Department of the CMD, Mrs Olanike Adeyemo, said for Nigeria to address its daunting challenges, there was the need to aggressively embark on programmes aimed at stimulating unemployed hands into productive ventures, through entrepreneurial activities.
Adeyomo said the move by the CMD would be implemented in modules, starting with Lagos State as a pilot scheme.
Speaking in turn, the Chairman, Nigerian Association of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (NASME), Lagos chapter, Prof. Adams Adebayo, who spoke on ‘Environmental Impact on MSMEs Business Opportunity Development in Nigeria: Concept, Formation and Sustainability’, took the participants on tips to become a successful entrepreneur.
