President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to support private sector with policies to drive it toward higher investments and productivity in the various sectors of the economy.
Buhari, who spoke at the formal commissioning of line 4 of the new BUA Cement 3MTPA plant in Sokoto, expressed pleasure to the facility 37 years after he inaugurated its line 2 in 1985. The commissioning of this multimillion Naira plant today is an indication that our policies are working.
Buhari noted that the federal government is also investing in road and railways infrastructure, all in a bid to reduce the cost of doing business in the country.
He however emphasised that the Government would not relent in its effort to improve on security and ensure it wins the battle against criminal elements working against the collective interest of the nation.
The Nigerian leader also called for stronger partnership between the private investors and his government to ensure that the nation’s economy becomes more competitive among others. He added that BUA and other investors have made Nigeria self-sufficient in cement.
In his welcome address, Executive Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu said the company has a vision to support government’s infrastructure agenda by ensuring it used locally available raw materials to produce cement in the country.
