Shettima: Tinubu's Reforms Boost Nigeria's Business Climate

On Wednesday, Vice President Kashim Shettima explained the strategies deployed by President Bola Tinubu's administration to enhance the business environment in Nigeria during the Jigawa State Investment Summit. Shettima noted that the Tinubu-led federal government has made difficult decisions to put the economy on a sustainable growth path, which has made it easier to conduct business in Nigeria.

He mentioned the establishment of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) to simplify business registration and reduce costs and time for starting and running businesses. The Vice President highlighted the importance of fiscal reforms and the liberalization of the foreign exchange market to attract serious investors.

He acknowledged that while the journey requires patience, outcomes are beginning to show positive results. Shettima also emphasized the need for state governments to unlock resources and support sectors like agriculture and power.

He assured that the federal government is committed to supporting Jigawa State in creating a favorable investment climate.
