President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's N200 Billion Intervention Fund Programme: A Boost to Nigeria's Industrial Sector

Since assuming office, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken significant steps to bolster Nigeria's industrial and manufacturing sectors. One of the key initiatives is the N200 billion Presidential Intervention Fund Programme, aimed at supporting micro, small, and medium scale enterprises (MSMEs) and manufacturing companies.
