In a bid to help businesses in Lagos recover as well as save and create more jobs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lagos State Government, on Wednesday, unveiled N5 Billion "Lagos Economic Acceleration Programme (LSETF-LEAP)".
@jidesanwoolu @LSETF @gbenga_omo
#LASG
The Executive Secretary/CEO, Lagos State Employment Trust Fund, Mrs. Teju Abisoye, described the LSETF-LEAP as a sector-specific intervention programme aimed at supporting MSMEs businesses and driving growth across targeted sectors that have been severely affected by the pandemic
She explained that the programme will provide access to affordable finance at a single-digit interest rate, enhance capacity building, foster market linkages and leverage business expansion opportunities for its beneficiaries.

According to her, some of the identified high-impact sectors with substantial employment creation opportunities include Education, Technology, Transport & Logistics, Healthcare, Renewable Energy and Agriculture.
#LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
She noted, however, that the Hospitality, Tourism, Creative and Entertainment Sectors have suffered a downturn that requires intervention that seeks to protect employment.

Abisoye averred that "Without any hint of doubt, MSMEs are central to the economic growth of any country. Hence, they will be instrumental to the economic recovery efforts following the COVID-19 epidemic within the Lagos economy”.
#LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
The Executive Secretary disclosed that, in addition to providing support to the identified sectors, LSETF-LEAP would offer opportunities for its existing, performing-loan-beneficiaries to renew their facilities, sustain their businesses, save and create new job opportunities.
She, therefore, implored all interested Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises applicants to visit the LSETF website: lsetf.ng to apply.
