The federal government has launched a structured policy dialogue platform designed to bridge the gap between policymakers and the private sector, marking a renewed effort to foster an inclusive, business-friendly economic environment that drives growth and investment nationwide.
Speaking in Lagos at the inaugural edition of the Government–Private Sector Dialogue Series (GPS), South East Finance and SME Growth Roundtable, minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite, said the initiative marked a new phase in the administration’s commitment to institutionalising collaboration with businesses, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s agenda for a private sector-driven economy.
According to her, the dialogue represents a deliberate step toward making the government more responsive, accountable, and inclusive, especially in addressing policy bottlenecks that affect businesses.
This is the most business-friendly president that Nigeria has had in recent history, Uzoka-Anite declared, adding that, “the president’s directive to us is obvious: we must work hand in hand with the private sector to remove every obstacle standing in the way of enterprise growth.”
She explained that the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda is anchored on rebuilding the economy and creating an environment where hardworking Nigerians and businesses can thrive, free from the constraints of policy uncertainty, inflation, and weak infrastructure.
