The Federal Government has been called upon to walk-the-talk of creating an enabling environment for micro, small and medium scale enterprises to thrive in the country by implementing policies and programmes that will stimulate economic growth.
Chairman of Tatcha Farms, located at Okuloho, in Okpe LGA of Delta state, Olorogun Alfred Mrakpor made the call at the weekend at Okuloho, during the annual end of your party organised by management of the Farms to appreciate staff and clients.
Olorogun Mrakpor stated that the call became imperative to facilitate the ease of doing business in the Nigeria and noted that the high cost of doing business across the nation has forced many SMEs to close shop thereby worsening the growing unemployment rate.
He stated that Tatcha Farms, one of the leading Indigenous agricultural production companies in the country decided to organize the event to appreciate and motivate staff who have worked assiduously to grow the fortunes of the organization despite the harsh business environment.
“The cost of doing business in this country is increasingly devastating. We cannot be talking about addressing unemployment, growing the economy without the federal government walking the talk” Mrakpor quipped.
