THE President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) has been urged to create the enabling environment for small-medium enterprises to grow by giving them access to proper funding through interest free loan, tax waivers or rebate as a way of fast-tracking economic development of the country.

The in-coming President was also admonished to concentrate more on the power sector to encourage the SME, and also ensure proper industrialization of all major sectors of the economy, particularly the pharmaceutical industry to grow the economy.

Speaking on the Buhari-Presidency in Lagos, Mr. Godwin Ezeoke, Chief Executive officer, Goche Pharmaceutical Industries Limited said the easiest way to grow the pharmaceutical industry is by providing interest free loan, tax waiver or rebate and low import duties on pharmaceutical products and equipment, which will give Nigerians free access to affordable generic products to improve on the health needs of Nigerians and also promote economic growth.
