SMEDAN Launches Solar-Powered Fashion Hub in Abuja for Just N500 Daily
If you’re a fashion designer or tailor looking for affordable workspace and top-quality equipment, here’s some great news! The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) has opened a solar-powered Fashion Hub at its Idu facility in Abuja, offering entrepreneurs access to advanced garment-making tools for just N500 per day.
This new hub is designed to support young fashion businesses across Nigeria by providing a workspace with 24-hour electricity thanks to locally made solar panels and a powerful mini-grid. This means no more worries about power outages disrupting your work or increasing your production costs.
SMEDAN explains that this initiative is part of its broader efforts to empower small businesses and promote self-reliance among Nigerian entrepreneurs.
The National Orientation Agency (NOA) is also teaming up with SMEDAN through the “7 for National Values Charter” campaign to spread the word about this opportunity and the government’s commitment to boosting entrepreneurship and the economy.
Here’s what you get for just N500 a day:
-
Access to high-end sewing machines and garment-making equipment
-
Secure storage for your materials and products
-
Discounted logistics services to help deliver your designs anywhere in Nigeria
No need to worry about the high rent and extra costs of running a shop in busy markets like Wuse, Garki, Kado, or Gwagwalada. Just bring your NIN to SMEDAN’s office in Idu, get assigned a sewing machine, and you can start working 24/7!
This is a smart and affordable way to grow your fashion business and join Nigeria’s thriving creative industry.
