The chief executive of MSME Africa, Mr Seye Olurotimi, has completed his PhD programme at the Swiss School of Business Research.

Mr Olurotimi operates MSME Africa, a leading digital platform dedicated to news, opportunities, and resources for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), startups, and entrepreneurs.

Business Post learned he completed his PhD in Strategic Management at the Swiss institution, with his doctoral research titled Assessing the Role and Effectiveness of Enterprise Support Organisations on the Performance, Growth, and Sustainability of MSMEs in Nigeria.

His research examined a subject of significant importance to Nigeria’s enterprise development landscape.

By looking into the role and effectiveness of Enterprise Support Organisations (ESOs), this piece of work contributes to the ongoing conversation about how business development services, entrepreneurial support, and enterprise development interventions can deliver more meaningful and measurable outcomes for MSMEs.
