The National MSME awards are an annual and week-long activity that is tailored to honour outstanding indigenous MSMEs. The week-long activity captures the international MSME week, an Expanded National MSME Clinic, business exhibition/plenary session, as well as a gala/award night to encourage MSMEs across the country.
The MSME awards began in August 2018 and Subsequently in June the following years. So far, there have been five award ceremonies with over 40 verifiable winners. In the past years, winners in the different categories have gone home with various prizes that have impacted their businesses and profiles—cash prizes, cars, and, of course, local and international media attention.
The reward for the awards has also increased from an initial 1-star prize, which was a car in 2018 for the MSME of the Year winner, to 10 cars in all categories. This is to underscore the significant relationship that has been established between the private sector and the Federal Government over the years.
