“It is very impressive that somewhere in Abuja, you can have so much manufacturing going on, so many people employed and so much innovation and creativity on display”, said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Tuesday, during a visit to DLK Clothing Signatures LTD, a manufacturer of shoes, garments and other items, located in Lugbe, a suburb of Abuja.

The vice president accompanied by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Niyi Adebayo, among other officials, also visited Roving Heights Book Store located at the Wuse II area of the FCT, as the 2021 MSME Week gets underway.

At the Lugbe facility, Mr Osinbajo was conducted around the different production lines by the CEO of the company, Lovelyn Mbanefo. He was taken around the shoe-making line, garment factory, and face mask production line. The VP interacted with the workers at the factory as he observed the inner workings and the different processes in the production line.

At the Roving Heights Book Store in Wuse II, the vice president was conducted around the book store by Nike Oyetunde, the Co-founder of the book store, where the professor bought a few titles and was told about the business operations and how sales fare in the book store.

Speaking in a chat with journalists during the tour, Mr Osinbajo said the Federal Government will continue to give priority attention to MSMEs especially those creating jobs for Nigerians.

According to him, “this is our MSME Week, we are looking at star MSMEs here and there, looking at what they are doing and in what ways we can support them, so we are looking forward to working with them.”

At the Lugbe stop, the vice president told reporters “we are here at the DLK manufacturing company. They manufacture, as you have seen, boots, shoes, special uniforms for the NYSC, for the Armed Forces, and they also make bags and masks. Even face masks.

“This is quite an impressive facility because first, there is a wide range of products that are manufactured right here, and secondly, there is a good number of young men and women that are employed.

“Thirdly, and importantly, the equipment is state-of-the-art. We have looked around and we have seen that you can do practically anything here. You can do all of the manufacture of boots for the Armed Forces, and they already have something they are doing for the Armed Forces, the Customs Service, and the NYSC.”

He expressed satisfaction with the operations of both MSMEs and said what he had observed was quite impressive.
