President Bola Tinubu has called a high-profile meeting at the State House in Abuja to strengthen economic plans and encourage collaboration between the public and private sectors.
During the event on Sunday evening, President Tinubu announced the formation of an economic advisory council, which will include key stakeholders from diverse sectors.
Among the prominent figures tapped for this crucial advisory role are the chairman of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, and the group chairman of Transnational Corporation Plc (Transcorp), Tony Elumelu, Femi Otedola, Innocent Chukwuma (Innoson), and Abdul Samad Rabiu (BUA), among others. The tripartite committee consists of 17 members from the federal government, sub-nationals, and the private sector.
According to the president, the federal government is ready to collaborate closely with all stakeholders to identify enduring solutions to the country’s current situation.
“Let us look at what we’re doing right and what we’re doing wrong to bring life back to the economy. Like I said, many times, the people of this country are the only ones we have to please. We are very concerned; from students to mothers and fathers, farmers, and traders, we realise that every one of us will have to fetch water from the same well.
“We’re looking for additional efforts that might help the downtrodden Nigerians, and we will provide that hope and reassurance that economic recovery is on its way. We are not saying that we have all the answers, but we will not be blamed for not trying. We assure Nigerians that we will do our best to get our marshal plans in place and fashion out the best economic future for this country,” he said.
