Elites Network for Sustainable Development (ENetSuD), a Kwara-based Civil Society Organization reputed for its #FollowKwaraMoney activities, has again questioned the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) on the 2018 Constituency Projects facilitated by the Federal Lawmakers from Kwara State in the 8th National Assembly.
It will be recalled that ENetSuD had earlier written SMEDAN on 8th April 2019 on the projects, after which SMEDAN replied on 6th May 2019 informing ENetSuD that the projects were under execution and that the information requested by ENetSuD will be provided as soon as the projects were completed.
In the new letter written by its Coordinator, Dr. Alagbonsi Abdullateef and submitted to the Director-General of SMEDAN on 18th January 2021, ENetSuD expressed sadness that all the requested information are yet to be provided after more than one (1) year.
ENetSuD, therefore, urged the DG of SMEDAN to provide the requested information within seven (7) days of the receipt of the latest letter.
The projects upon which ENetSuD is questioning SMEDAN include:
– Supply of Sewing Machines & Grinding Machines in Ilorin East & Ilorin South, Kwara State;
-Training of Youths & Women on Skill Development & Self Help Projects in Ilorin East & Ilorin
South, Kwara State;
