The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) has honoured notable Nigerians in both the private and public sector as well as outstanding organisations at its 60th anniversary yesterday.
In a statement made available to the media, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha led other awardees as they converged on the International Conference Centre in Abuja to brainstorm on a new path for the private sector.
The event, under the chairmanship of Otunba Richard Adeniyi Adebayo, the Honorable Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, was designed to encourage individuals and organisations who in their different ways have contributed to the economy despite the setback occasioned by the COVID 19 pandemics and also serve as a rendezvous for major stakeholders of the business Community.
This is a clarion call to all Nigerians irrespective of age, gender, tribe, religion, political affiliation; it is time for us to come together, to make this country work again. We may not always agree on all issues, but for once, let us agree to make Nigeria work.
