Mr Fasanya’s acting appointment was approved by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo.
This is contained in a statement by the ministry’s Director (Policy, Planning, Research & Statistics) Baba Gana Alkali on Tuesday
“I am directed to convey the Honourable Minister’s approval for you to act as Director-General of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency
