The federal government is working at entering the list of top 100 countries on the global ranking in Ease of Doing Business by 2020. Senior Special Assistant to the President on Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, stated this at the presentation of the ‘2018 Making Business Work Report’ of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) in Abuja. Oduwole, who is also the Secretary of PEBEC, noted that in order to achieve the goal, the country needs to move up 45 places in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index over the next two years. Nigeria is currently ranked 145 among 190 economies, according to the latest World Bank annual rating. Oduwole said PEBEC had initiated industry-wide reforms in order to ensure better public service delivery and an improved business environment for micro, small and medium-scale enterprises (MSMEs). She stated: “Nigeria must improve its ranking by 45 places in the World Bank Ease of Doing Business Index over the next two years to achieve its goal of attaining the top 100 by 2020. Such an ambitious goal requires accelerated and focused execution of Government Executive Order and National Action Plans (NAP). “It is clear that Nigeria must now intensify its reform efforts and PEBEC will continue to work closely with the public and private sectors to institutionalise its reforms, cascade them to state level, and refine and improve the business environment. “In the second half of 2018 and into 2019, PEBEC will focus primarily on regulators, an Omnibus Bill on business facilitation, and consolidating gains for the economy through the deepening of the sub-national Ease of Doing Business project.” The presidential aide noted that Nigeria is “bouncing back from significant macroeconomic distress” and setting an example for other African countries to emulate. According to her, PEBEC is building the capacity of the ministries, departments and agencies to foster cooperation between them and states, the national assembly and private sector.

This is a good start.... I was shocked when i saw some countries that are not as rich as Nigeria below the 100 mark.

This is to show that its not about the money one get from exports... They should offer security and most expectially grant loans

Empty talks and promises

This will be a good idea though...

This is good but nonetheless the FG must allow the Naira to fully float, reduce protectionist barriers and slash corporate tax to no more than 15%.

na wa o, difference is clear.

so, vision 20,20-20 is no more visible. Its now vision 100, 20-20

Who ever brought the idea of Ease of doing business to the present Government, really tried in making sure that Government get to touch common citizens , who can feel the present of government whenever they want to start up business with less capital as ease of doing business has settle all the issues one encounter to start up a business..

The government has really tried to encourage SMEs through this initiative of Ease of doing business with the MSMEs clinics..

Hopefully, this would be supplemented by substantial improvement in infrastructure. This country for once is too heavily dependent on public sector employment but with limited large private sector employers.
