Buhari promises new measures to make doing business easy

By on December 16, 2015

President Muhammadu Buhari has said his administration will soon introduce more policies to further ease the process of doing business in Nigeria.

A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Garba Shehu, said the president spoke after a presentation at the Presidential Villa on enhancing Nigeria’s trade and economic competitiveness.

Buhari said the new policies would be focused on increasing efficiency and transparency in government operations, and the blocking of leakages from revenue generating agencies.

He said his administration was fully committed to closing all the loopholes in the revenue generating agencies, increasing their efficiency in trade facilitation and ensuring transparency in all government businesses so as to attract greater foreign direct investments into the country.

The president added that the Nigeria Customs Service, Ministry of Trade and Investment, Ministry of Finance and other relevant agencies would be encouraged to adopt some of the positive ideas contained in the presentation for implementation next year.

A representative of the company that made the presentation, Mr. Lim Chee Boon, had told Buhari that virtually all the countries that implemented its solutions had successfully reduced corruption in their import and export processes.
