Amosun’s wife tasks leaders on entrepreneurship

WIFE of Ogun State governor, Mrs. Olufunso Amosun, has urged leaders to place high premium on entrepreneurship, saying this could engender faster economic growth and development.

She explained that most developed countries always encourage small and medium scale business enterprises, leading to increase in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).

Speaking at the official launch of the Nigerian chapter of the Federation of Business Women Entrepreneurs of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Mrs. Amosun said: “Our youths and women should be encouraged to acquire one vocational skill or the other irrespective of their educational qualifications”.

On her part, the president, Mrs. Alaba Lawson, said the federation was set up to promote and facilitate trade on a common platform for various groups and individual women entrepreneurs across the West African sub-region.
