Food Partners seeks govt support for SMEs

The Chief Executive Officer of Food Partners, Animasaun Luiz, has called on the governments at all levels to promote Small and Medium Scale Enterprises.

He described them as catalysts for economic growth.

Luiz, who is also an economic expert, made the call during the official opening of Chicken Royale at Ring Road in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Friday.

He pleaded that a substantial size of the annual budget should be voted for the sector as a means of thinning down populated labour market.

Luiz said, “Opening of the business outlet in Ibadan is part of the company vision of engaging the youths as well as encouraging indigent entrepreneurs.

“We are coming with both local and continental foods at very affordable prices, especially to create jobs for more youths and to affect the state to be a better place for the best foods anyone can get anywhere in the world. We will be serving both local and international cuisine, and there isn’t a restaurant in the state that offers both at the same time.”

He promised that the outlet would offer a wide range of meals at reasonable prices, which was one of the basic reasons that would make it standard out.
