Temitola Adekunle-Johnson, the Senior Special Assistant to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu on Job Creation and MSMEs, recently paid a visit to Nature First Global Resources Ltd as part of his regular inspections to evaluate the status of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria.
During the visit, the CEO of Nature First, Priscilla Canice-Obi, guided Temitola Adekunle-Johnson and his team through various sections of the factory, presenting the production process from the sourcing of raw materials to the final products.
In the tour of the factory situated in Karu-Site in the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja, Priscilla showcased the effectiveness of Nature First’s herbal remedies, such as the High BP Tea, which has been demonstrated to lower and stabilize blood pressure.
She also shared a heartwarming success story of a nine-year-old boy who recovered from persistent respiratory issues and a growth in his nose with the help of Nature First Black Seed Oil, a NAFDAC-certified product.
Expressing his satisfaction with the visit, the Senior Special Assistant reassured the business, as well as all Nigerian MSMEs, of the government’s dedication to creating a supportive environment for their development and prosperity.
He commended Priscilla for her commitment and encouraged her to continue her outstanding work.
Adekunle-Johnson remarked, “If MSMEs require access to the market, bridging the gap is simpler,” while urging businesses to acquire all necessary certifications to facilitate government assistance.
In appreciation, the CEO expressed gratitude to the SSA and the team for their visit, affirming a commitment to maintaining the delivery of superior products that cater to the public’s needs and well-being.
