President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday restated the commitment of the Federal Government to create a prosperous nation that works for all citizens.
Buhari made the commitment in his goodwill message to the opening of the second Kaduna Economic and Investment Summit, held in Kaduna.
He said the creation of a prosperous economy would create sustainable jobs, stimulate economic activities and ensure national growth and development.
According to him, the federal government will continue to support the private sector to provide the needed investment to drive national economic growth, ensure prosperity and stability.
“That is why we launched a presidential committee to reduce the bottlenecks in doing business early in the life of this administration,” he said.
The President added that the committee’s task was to simplify the processes and procedures for starting and running a business, “so that the cobwebs of archaic bureaucratic and administrative tradition do not stifle initiative or exacerbate the cost of doing business.”
Buhari noted with satisfaction that Kaduna State was also replicating the ease of doing business policy, adding that the move was a clear understanding of the responsibilities of sub-national actors in the quest for national rebirth.
“If we succeed in making our state governments adopt to attracting investments, creating jobs, providing infrastructure and delivering much needed public goods like education, health and portable water, then we would have delivered a country that works for all our citizens, “he said.
He further hope that the summit, with the theme `Making Kaduna the investment destination of choice’, would result in reliable partnerships that would promote economic prosperity for the people.
