Akume Calls on NACCIMA to Supportโข Tinubu’s Diversification Policies
Secretaryโข to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator Georgeโข Akume, โคhas urged theโ Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) to fully utilize the opportunities presented by โขPresident Bola Tinubu’s economic diversification policies to foster national advancement.
Akume made the call on Thursday in Abuja during a courtesy visit from the newly elected president of NACCIMA, engineer Jani Ibrahim, and members of the association’s executive council.
The โSGF stated that theโ Tinubu administration is actively creating aโ business-kind surroundings and ensuringโ a level playing field for private sector involvement, emphasizing that organized bodies like NACCIMA should capitalize on this to strengthen Nigeria’s economic foundation.
According to a statement released by his Special Adviser on Public Affairs, Terrence Kuanum, Akume praised NACCIMA’s longstanding โcontributions to national development and โencouraged the association to align its programs with the โคgovernment’s diversification and industrialization goals.
“I wish to warmly welcomeโข you to my office and โคalso congratulate you on your election as the 26th president of NACCIMA,” Akume said. “As you are allโข aware, we have over-depended on proceeds from crude oil for decades, leaving โout huge revenuesโ from other sectors of our economy. This government is purposeful about economic diversification as the surestโ path to building a enduringโข system that will outliveโค us for generations yet unborn.”
Akume highlighted the administration’s focus on reducing Nigeria’s reliance on oil revenues by bolstering industries, agriculture, mining, and technology-driven sectors. โขHe affirmed theโค government’s commitment to continued collaboration with organized private sector groups to achieve inclusive growth and a resilient economy.
In his remarks, NACCIMA President, Engr. Jani Ibrahim, thanked โthe SGF for his hospitality and pledged the association’s โfull โฃsupport for President โคTinubu’s โค”Renewed Hope Agenda.”
“We have come to pledge our totalโ support to President โคTinubu through your office โandโข to strengthen the bond of โpublic-private partnership,” Ibrahimโ said. “We are leveraging on the Renewed Hope policy toโข achieve our โprojection of a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2031. Considering the centrality of your office in โgovernance, we are convincedโ that partnering with you would makeโ our task moreโข feasible.”
Ibrahim further โขnotedโฃ NACCIMA’s dedicationโข to promoting entrepreneurship, industrial development, andโ sustainable โbusiness practicesโค throughout Nigeria. He also announced the launch of an ambitious plan by NACCIMA to plant one billion trees nationwide, supportingโข the โคfederal government’s green economy and environmental sustainability initiative.
founded in 1960, NACCIMA serves as the โumbrella body for all chambers of commerce, industry, mines, and agriculture inโข Nigeria, playing a vital role in trade facilitation, industrial policy advocacy, and private sector participation in national economic growth.
