The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association NECA has urged the Federal Government to accelerate its diversification agenda with greater focus on the implementation of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan ERGP.
The Director-General of NECA, Timothy Olawale, said this today in Lagos.
Olawale said that NECA’s advice to President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term in office, is that the Federal Government should drastically reduce its over-dependence on revenues from crude oil export.
He urged government to give more priority to the needs of other businesses to fast-track national development and economic prosperity for citizens in the next four years and beyond.
He noted that in the last few years, the real sector had experienced mixed blessings, especially as it relates to trade liberalisation, backward integration, multiple taxation, poor access to funding and regulatory insensitivity.
