How do you intend to diversify and improve the economy without the input of the private sector biko nu?

This mistake must not be repeated come 2019.

During the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, private sector players such as Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Mr. Femi Otedola, Mr. Tony Elumelu, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Mr. Atedo Peterside among others were members of the EMT.
But the President said he did not include private players in his team because such people do not work for the over-all national interest .

President Muhammadu Buhari said he was averse to the inclusion of members of the private sector in his administration’s Economic Management Team because such people frequently steer government policy to suit their own narrow interests.
According to a statement by the Presidency on Sunday, the President spoke in an interview he granted a magazine, The Interview.
Buhari was said to be reacting to criticisms that he has no economic team.
During the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, private sector players such as Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Mr. Femi Otedola, Mr. Tony Elumelu, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Mr. Atedo Peterside among others were members of the EMT.
But the President said he did not include private players in his team because such people do not work for the over-all national interest.
He said, “The Vice-President heads our Economic Management Team.
“You have Finance Minister, Budget and Planning Minister, Minister for Industry, Trade and Investments, Governor at the Central Bank, National Economic Adviser and others. Some still ask for a team. I don’t know how they define the word ‘team.’
“We will listen to everybody but we are averse to economic team whose private sector members frequently steer government policy to suit their own narrow interests rather than the over-all national interest.”
Buhari also said that one of the things on his priority list is to change the way things are done in Nigeria.
He said that was the only way that could lead the nation into a great future.
Buhari was also said to have expressed his desire to see a Nigeria where all funds are used to the benefit of the common man.
“My wish is that we will truly change the way we do things in Nigeria. Therein lies the future of our country as a great entity.
“I also wish for a fully diversified Nigerian economy which is no longer dependent on oil only and a Nigeria where every naira that comes into the treasury is used for the good of the people, particularly, the ordinary people,” the President said. https://www.today.ng/news/national/157448/excluded-private-sector-players-economic-team-buhari

PMB just spoke the gospel truth, these people are their for their own narrow interests, where did they land us in at last?

But I'm sure some people coz of the deeply rooted hatred for the President wouldn't agree.

-Tony Elumelu ended up getting the Ughelli Power Plant in the name of privatisation,
-Dangote got his fair share by securing steady dollars from the FG for his Lagos refinery,
- Femi Otedola, as you know, represents the oil cabals.

Does this man know that the govt has no business in doing business?

No economy survives without carrying the private sectors along.

Buhari is a control freak, & insists on working with people that MUST do as DICTATES.

This same dangote refinery that PMB admin is banking on to stabilise the inflow and outflow of fx for the betterment of the entire economy?
Oga, the govt has no business in doing business, all they do all over the world is create an enabling environment and make policies and rules so that the private sectors can thrive, they are the highest employer of labour, highest producers, highest service rendering, just name it.
If he thinks private sectors are selfish, he could use his office as the president to make rules that will favour the economy @large and not side lining this economic drivers
