The Federal Government has reiterated its commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment that will attract private sector investments, stimulate economic growth, and create job opportunities for Nigerians.
This assurance was given by the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, during a strategic meeting in Abuja on March 18, 2025, with Alhaji Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group. Their discussions focused on strengthening government-private sector collaboration to unlock new economic potentials and drive sustainable development.
Director of Information and Public Relations in a statement quoted Edun to have reaffirmed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s dedication to implementing policies that support enterprise growth, enhance innovation, and boost industrialization. He emphasized that creating an enabling business climate remains a top priority for the administration.
Also present at the meeting were key industry stakeholders, including Dr. Zacch Adelabu Adedeji, Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS); Sayyu Dantata, Chairman of MRS Oil & Gas; and Maryam Ibrahim, Special Adviser to the Minister.
With the government’s policy direction aligning with the private sector’s drive for expansion, the partnership between both entities is expected to accelerate Nigeria’s economic transformation and position the country as a leading investment hub in Africa.
