Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has perfected templates with which to revamp about 24 million businesses, allegedly crippled by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

The former vice president said he will put millions of Nigerians, who have lost their jobs under the Buhari administration back to work.

The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PPCO), which stated this on Sunday, added that the templates would ensure massive job creation and business opportunities for Nigerians immediately Atiku was elected into office as President.

PPCO, in a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, its Director, Media and Publicity, said the templates were predicated on Atiku’s staunch confidence in Nigerians as hard working people, with immense potentials to thrive in all fields of endeavor, given the right opportunity and conducive business environment.

It continued: “Part of the initiative, as already laid out in Atiku Abubakar’s economy recovery plan is to facilitate the establishment of a Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Venture Capital Fund, which in collaboration with the private sector, will provide longer-term capital for targeted small firms across the states of the federation in various sectors of our economy.

“This initiative by Atiku Abubakar will attract a minimum of N90 billion ($250 million) of direct private sector funding for Nigerians in small and medium businesses with strategic windows for increased production and grin various sectors of the economy.

“This is in addition to a Financial Innovation Fund, with which Atiku Abubakar targets to incenticise commercial, micro-finance banks and other financial institutions for innovative solutions for credit to hard working Nigerians in small and medium businesses across our country.

“To ensure a seamless system, the plan articulates the establishment of a platform for de-risking SME lending and increasing the SMEs funding window from N200 billion to N500 billion, as well as simplify the collateral registration process to unlock much needed finance for SMEs.

“This is in addition to the plan to reform and re-introduce the Small-scale Industries and Graduate Loan Guarantee, as well as the Small-Scale Industrial Credit Scheme among others to reduce stress on beneficiary businesses to thrive.

“This critical focus on the SMEs, where a greater population of Nigerians engage in various sectors, captures Atiku Abubakar’s plan to ensure rapid stimulation of the economy at the base, as well as accelerate the growth of the real sector of the economy to open up self and wage-paying job opportunities.”
