President Muhammadu Buhari has described state governments as key allies for successful businesses in the country.
Buhari made the statement at the opening of the 40th Kaduna International Trade Fair, organised by the Kaduna Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture KADCCIMA.
The theme, “Consolidating Interface Between Industry and Agriculture for Nigeria’s Sustainable Development”.
Buhari, who was represented at the occasion by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelama, said that the commitment of state governments was required for businesses to stay on course.
He gave the assurance that the Federal Government would continue to engage KADCCIMA and the organised private sector to catalyse investment and improve the ease of doing business.
According to him, agriculture contributes 25.5 per cent of Nigeria’s GDP and almost 50 per cent of its labour force.
