 Mrs Omowale Ogunrinde, FSD Coordinator, was one of the delegates at the USA Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship in Washington DC, in April 2010. The Summit exposed paricipants to innovations, inventions, opportunities and successes of entrepreneurship.
The President of the United States of America in addressing the delegates emphasized that entrepreneurship was more successful in bringing about progress and development where policy and diplomacy had failed especially in developed nations and particularly in the Muslim countries. Top US government officials in attendance included President Obama, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, Secretary of State for Commerce Gary Locke and many others.
Skye Bank and the US Embassy made the attendance possible for Foundation for Skills Development. Interactions during the meetings indicate that there is hope for small businesses to grow with the support of structures put in place by our Ministries of Education, government laws and the continuous support of the financial institutions both in Nigeria and abroad.
More importantly citizens need to acquire the right skills for their enteprises to succeed.
