During the visit, Osinbajo will launch the Ondo State Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, (MSMEs) clinic, which is expected to serve as tonic to economic and developmental activities in the state.
His visit will feature interactive sessions with MSMEs and their products. He is expected to inspect the home grown school feeding programme at Alagbaka Primary School and the Federal Government’s Light Up project at Isinkan Neighbourhood Market in the state capital.
