The uniqueness of Mr. Fasanya's accomplishment lies not only in the academic rigor required to obtain a PhD but also in the context of his responsibilities as the head of SMEDAN.

With his newly acquired PhD in Policy Analysis and Management, Mr. Fasanya is poised to leverage his vast scholarly erudition to benefit SMEDAN and the SMEs it serves. His academic journey has placed him in a unique position to meticulously study and analyze government policies related to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), ensuring that the agency is equipped with the knowledge to create impactful programs.
The congratulatory message from Dr. Dikko Umaru Radda, the Executive Governor of Katsina State, underscores the significance of Mr. Fasanya's achievement. On behalf of the people and government of Katsina State, Dr. Radda extends heartfelt congratulations and expresses hope that Mr. Fasanya will utilize his newfound knowledge to propel SMEDAN and contribute to the prosperity of Nigeria as a whole.
