The Nigerian Association of Small Scale Industrialists (NASSI) was founded in 1978 to cater to the needs, growth, and protection of small-scale industrialists across Nigeria. Established with the support of the Obasanjo Military Regime, NASSI was created to serve as a structured platform for advocacy, empowerment, and sustainable industrial development.
NASSI is a non-governmental, non-profit, and non-political organization committed to promoting the interests of small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) while strengthening their role in national economic growth.
In Ogun State alone, NASSI has grown into a formidable network of over 1,000 active members across diverse sectors including manufacturing, agro-processing, services, technology, and trade.
Our structure extends across all 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state, ensuring that we remain accessible, responsive, and deeply connected to entrepreneurs at the grassroots level.
This strong grassroots presence allows us to:
Mobilize and support members effectively
Deliver impactful programs and initiatives
Facilitate access to government and institutional opportunities
Promote inclusive industrial development
Our vision is to be the leading organization in the promotion and development of small and medium-scale industries as the engine of growth and productivity in Nigeria.
To build a thriving community of competitive, compliant, and globally relevant small-scale industrialists driving sustainable economic growth.
We are more than an association.
We are a community.
We are a support system.
We are a voice for small-scale industrialists.
