Implement Ease Of Doing Business Order – NACCIMA

The Nigeria Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) has urged the Federal Government to ensure that executive orders that have been given to enhance business in Nigeria is fully implemented.
Making the call while speaking to journalists at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa at the weekend, the President of NACCIMA, Iyalode Alaba Lawson, said the executive orders so given by the federal government, have not been implemented yet.
She said the orders and policies of government must be implemented if Nigeria must move forward and for the Gross Domestic Product to improve.
“The economy of Nigeria is recovering but the recovery is at a very low pace. All those policies and orders for ease of doing business must be well implemented.
“If they can implement those orders and policies faithfully, the business environment will be flowing and the economy will grow and the GDP will also grow.
“Some executive orders are not implemented. There this NEPA tariff order given last year April to those in the textile industry, but since then, it has not been implemented.
“The letter they gave to NACCIMA stated that the order will be implemented within 24 hours, but that has not been done untill now. Who is fooling who.
Those that are supposed to implement government order are not doing it. Are they more powerful than government?. We want government to look into these things,” she said.
The NACCIMA boss, however, urged the private sector to see what they can do to assist government to develop the economy of the nation.
According to her, all those who can generate Independent power should go ahead without waiting for government to do it.
