Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the groups Coordinator, Ikechukwu Chukwunyere said that with his experience, Radda will take the state to an enviable height.

The groups also said that his experience as the erstwhile National Welfare Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Chairman of Charanchi Local Government Area of Katsina state, from 2005 to 2007 as well as a two-time caretaker chairman of the local government under late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Shehu Shema administrations respectively, have endowed him with great wealth of knowledge to pilot the affairs of Katsina State to greater heights

“We strongly believe that given the APC governorship ticket, Dr. Radda would use his experience as the former Chief of Staff to Governor Aminu Masari, to end the state’s intractable woes and bring about sustainable economic prosperity in the state.

“If given the opportunity to serve, his administration will tackle insecurity, increasing rate of poverty, poor access to social infrastructure, underdeveloped economic sector, lack of integration to national value chains, low-level of education and inadequate support for businesses in the state,” they said.

The groups listed his achievements as the DG of SMEDAN, which they believe will give him an edge to succeed as Katsina state governor to include; “Implementation of the Conditional Grant Scheme (CGS) for micro entrepreneurs in Nigeria programme where not fewer than 51,000 entrepreneurs have benefited from capacity building, micro insuarance, registration with Corporate Affairs Commission, financial inclusion account opening),grants of N50,000 each and delivery of business development services across more than 15 state in Nigeria.

“Implementation of the One Local Government One Product (OLOP) programme where thousand of entrepreneurs under 563 cooperatives and operating within organic clusters have benefited from equipments, work space and working capital supports in the form of grant and soft loans as well as capacity building, access to markets and delivery business development services across all states of the federation including FCT.

Under the MMRP, Over 3 million MSMEs have been registered with their locations, the kind of business they do their phone numbers and email address which makes it easier to attract clients that will require their products and services.

“Implementation of Young Business Owners Programme, It is towards addressing the economic challenges that Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) has initiated the Young Business Owners in Nigeria (Y-BON).
