Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has expressed optimism about Nigeria’s extremely bright economic future, which he said cannot be aborted despite current challenges.
The Vice President in a release Wednesday by his spokesman, Laolu Akande, spoke while inspecting SecureID facility in Lagos. He said despite challenges the country’s economic future is bright and issues will be resolved.
He said the Buhari Administration in following the recommendation of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, was determined that manufacturing will be the main focus in bringing about dynamic growth, jobs and exports.
According to him, ”This will mean retooling our business environment for greater competitiveness, especially with the take off of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement. We are rethinking our tax regimes, sorting out external and internal trade issues, getting our regulatory authorities; SON, NAFDAC, and even Customs, to see their roles more as business facilitators rather than policemen or revenue generators. Our environment must be friendly for local businesses first, foreign investments will follow enthusiastically.
