**Government Calls for Partnership to Boost Investment in Nigeria** The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has urged the government and private sector to work together to improve Nigeria's business environment. This call was made by Zahra Mustapha Audu, Director-General of PEBEC, at a recent meeting with foreign and local investors in Abuja. The meeting, which brought together top government officials and investors, aimed to discuss ways to make Nigeria more attractive to investors. Audu stressed that existing foreign investors play a crucial role in Nigeria's economic growth, contributing to job creation, capital investment, and technology transfer. To improve the business environment, PEBEC plans to strengthen collaboration between government institutions and the private sector. Audu emphasized the importance of listening to the concerns of investors already operating in the country and addressing practical challenges that affect their businesses. The Deputy Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Ibrahim Hadejia, reaffirmed the government's commitment to creating a conducive environment for businesses to thrive. He stated that the Federal Government is dedicated to making Nigeria a hub for investments in the West African region. This initiative comes at a time when Nigeria is seeking to revamp its economy and become more competitive on the global stage. With a growing population and a strong workforce, Nigeria has the potential to become a major economic player in Africa. However, the business environment remains one of the major challenges hindering the country's growth. To achieve its goals, PEBEC plans to work closely with investors, government institutions, and other stakeholders to identify and address the challenges affecting businesses in Nigeria. This collaboration is expected to lead to improved infrastructure, reduced bureaucratic bottlenecks, and increased investments in key sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and technology. As Nigeria looks to the future, this partnership between the government and private sector is a step in the right direction. With sustained engagement and collaboration, Nigeria can become a more attractive destination for investors and realize its full economic potential.
