Calling all Small Business Owners: Enter for the National MSME Awards 2024

RE YOU A BUSINESS OWNER? HERE IS A CHANCE TO BE A WINNER AT THE UPCOMING NATIONAL MSME AWARDS. The National MSME awards is an annual event that spans a week, dedicated to recognizing exceptional indigenous MSMEs. The week-long program includes the international MSME week, an Expanded National MSME Clinic, business exhibition/plenary session, and a gala/award night aimed at motivating MSMEs nationwide.

Commencing in August 2018, the MSME awards have been held in June each subsequent year. To date, there have been five award ceremonies, honoring over 40 deserving winners.

Over the years, winners across various categories have received valuable prizes such as cash rewards, cars, and garnered both local and international media coverage, positively impacting their businesses and reputations.

The prizes for the awards have evolved from an initial 1-star prize, a car for the MSME of the Year winner in 2018, to 10 cars across all categories. This development highlights the strong partnership between the private sector and the Federal Government that has been nurtured over time.
