On Oct 4, 2024, VP Shettima and I stood inside the brand-new Garment & Fashion Hub during the 5th expanded MSME Clinics; 150+ industrial machines are humming and 5,000 trainees in pipeline. One year on, that federal-state collab has:

• Mass-produced military uniforms, school wear, and global textile exports
• Trained 500+ designers via accredited programs
• Turned the hub into a 24/7 co-working powerhouse for fashion SMEs From 48% GDP contribution to 84% workforce jobs, this isn’t just infrastructure—it’s Enugu rewriting Nigeria’s SME playbook.
