The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria, (SMEDAN) has decried the indiscriminate encroachment on the land belonging to Industrial Development Centers across the country.
The Director -General, Dr Dikko Umaru Radda said this on a tour of the IDC Ibeshe in Ikorodu, Lagos on Monday.
He expressed displeasure over the encroachment of the centre’s land in Ikorodu by individuals without recourse to laws of the land.
“Almost all our IDCs lands are being encroached, this is not fair, these are the properties of the federal government of Nigeria and they are supposed to assist micro small businesses. They are incubation centres that will go a long way in creating thousands of jobs, we can’t allow this, we will take this up with the appropriate authorities.’’
At the state office in Matori, Dr Radda was briefed on the activities, success and challenges of the Lagos office.
The State Coordinator, Mr Adeyinka Fisher, appealed to the new SMEDAN boss to look into their challenges and ensure the provision of working tools to get the best out of the staff of the agency.
