The presidential standard bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has assured of a buoyant and vibrant economy if elected.
Tinubu gave the assurance at the 7th edition of the Kaduna Economic and Investment Summit (KadInvest 7.0), yesterday in Kaduna, according to an issued statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman.
He also promised that his administration will build an economy that will achieve double-digit growth.
The APC presidential flag bearer hailed Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i for raising the bar in attracting investment to the State just like he did in Lagos over 20 years ago through which Lagos State has been able to deliver landmark developmental projects. “These investments will in turn drive rapid economic growth and prosperity, providing jobs and opportunities for the good people of Kaduna State”, Tinubu said.
On the role of the private sector in national economic development, Tinubu praised President Muhammadu Buhari for giving maximum support to them to flourish. According to him, laws put in place by the Buhari administration helped to improve the ease of doing business in the country.
He said if elected, his administration will build on this, making it better for the private sector to excel.
“I desire that the next administration, under my leadership, will continue to drive forward and accelerate the progress made thus far, taking bold steps and initiatives to encourage investments in new areas typically considered risky, and leading the way by providing the enabling environment to nurture our innate entrepreneurial spirit.
“It is essential that our nation continues to champion the rule of law and sanctity of contracts; for these are the pre-requisites for creating a business-friendly economic environment.
