Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Tinubu noted the conglomerate's strategic investments in sectors such as cement manufacturing, fertiliser production, and petroleum refining.

These investments are crucial for boosting domestic production, creating jobs, reducing import dependence, conserving foreign exchange, and enhancing the country’s industrial capacity.

The summit, themed ‘Growth That Works: Delivering Jobs, Productivity and Shared Prosperity’, aims to discuss strategies for economic growth and productivity.

Tinubu reiterated the need for collaboration between the government and private sector to build a more resilient economy.
