The Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA) has urged the Federal Government to partner with its agency to better deliver on the series of reforms targeting economic growth and development.
The Director-General of NECA, Mr Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde made the call at the ongoing 3rd edition of the Nigeria Employers Summit on Wednesday in Abuja with the theme “Economic Renaissance Harnessing Government Reforms and Private Sector Agility.”
According to him, President Bola Tinubu’s Administration have introduced different fundamental reforms that would shape the growth trajectory trajectory of the country within one year in office
Oyerinde who noted that the reforms would in one way or the other affect every body differently, added that it was already affecting the private sector, Nigerians and households.
He said: “One of the aim of the summit among many others is not just to interrogate the reforms but to find a way where we can create a deeper nexus between those reforms.
“It is also to create an environment where the private sector can play a major role in facilitating the achievement of the objectives of those reforms. As all reforms have their own objectives.”
The NECA boss who stated that the federal government needs credible organisations such as NECA to help to drive the reforms to a logical conclusion, explained that the summit was aimed at discussing the current reforms of government and to seek private sector collaboration with government to achieve the objectives of the reforms.
“It also to let government know that much can be achieved when we deepen the collaboration with the private sector and government towards the fulfilment of the 8 point Agenda of this administration because without the private sector involvement in those reforms, much cannot be achieved.
“Also, because new reforms or policies needs new adjustments modalities and there should be gestation periods to adjust to the new reforms in the country,” Oyerinde added.
