In our continued commitment in pursuing accountability, transparency and good goverance, we also have written to ministry of innovation, science and technology and SME center Enugu, requesting for the data of the real beneficiaries of the N4.6 billion grants disbursed by the Enugu state government to both farmers and IT startups in the state on August 2024.

The motives of our group is to conduct a survey to assess the impact and challenges faced by the beneficiaries in tech startups and in small and medium scale enterprise.

SEDAG holds the current administration at a very high esteem and great regards for the government following her giant strides and good intentions towards achieving a robust economy.

SEDAG maintains that government injecting 4.6 billion last year to boost the agricultural and the tech/IT sector is enough to ensure food security, price stability and technological advancement.

It will be a great disservice to the state and economic sabotage from the part of the beneficiaries if the money are not put to good use and for the purpose for which the government release the fund.

To this end SEDAG a civil society organization with the sole aim of promoting Good Governance, Accountability and transparency in fiscal expenditures, expresses interest in conducting a follow-up survey in the August 2024 N4.6 billion naira agricultural and MSMEs support and grants by the Enugu state Government.

As a group we seek for the support of the general public and the cooperation of the state government to enable us conduct a successful survey and recommendations for policy formation for future purposes.

Our findings will be made public to medias and organizations from time to time, as we receive the data from the implementing ministries and government agencies.
