Tinubu hails $12m Abuja entrepreneurship centre
Says facility will strengthen MSMEs, create jobs By Johnbosco Agbakwuru ABUJA — President Bola Tinubu has welcomed the construction of the $12 million Abuja Centre for Entrepreneurship, saying the facility will…
The $12 million project is split roughly evenly between infrastructure and support programmes, with about $5.9 million earmarked for construction of the centre itself and $6.1 million set aside for equipment and initiatives aimed directly at entrepreneurs and small businesses. This split suggests the centre is meant to function as more than a building — combining physical space with funded programming for the MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises) it is designed to serve.
Tinubu's endorsement frames the project within his administration's broader messaging around job creation and support for small businesses, though the specific timeline for completion and the entities financing or executing the project are not detailed in the coverage so far.
