Nigeria will be one of the most attractive and easiest places of doing
business in the world by 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari said on Sunday
in Nairobi, Kenya.
Speaking at a plenary session on "Dialogue
with the Private Sector" at the sixth Tokyo International Conference for
African Development (TICAD VI), President Buhari said his
administration is implementing policies and measures to create right and enabling environment for business and investors in Nigeria.
Nigeria is currently ranked 169 out of 189 countries by the World Bank,
according to the Bank's 2016 Ease of Doing Business report.
President Buhari told the session attended by several African leaders,
Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and international business executives
that his administration’s vision and objective is to make Nigeria one of
the top investment destinations in the world, within the shortest
possible time.
‘‘We believe government has a particular
responsibility to create right and attractive environment for businesses
and economic activities to thrive.
‘‘In furtherance of this
vision, we have launched the Presidential Enabling Environment Council,
PEEC and Inter-Ministerial Council to oversee the efforts of government
to remove various bottlenecks that stifle businesses and economic
activities and thereby create economic activities and the right enabling
environment and investment climate in Nigeria.
‘‘The secretariat
will include strong private sector representation that would be led by
experienced business professionals from the private sector.
‘‘We
are committed to moving up the ranking of the World Bank’s ease of doing
business index 20 places in first year and be in the top 100 within the
next 3 years,’’ the President said.
