Obi spoke in a post on his X handle, noting that the discussion with Lord Marland centred on prospective trade opportunities, economic advancement, and the promotion of small businesses across Nigeria.
His words, “It is clear that fostering a robust economy and generating employment, as evidenced by rapidly growing nations like China, Indonesia, and Vietnam, necessitates a concerted effort to prioritise support for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.”
He also, noted his long-held view that micro, small and medium enterprises MSMEs, were the driving force behind economic growth, adding that vigorous support for such businesses was imperative for enhancing development and creating significant employment opportunities, particularly in agriculture and manufacturing.
