REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, HIS EXCELLENCY, SENATOR (DR.) ABUBAKAR BUKOLA SARAKI, AT THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MAIDEN BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT ROUNDTABLE (NASSBER), TODAY 21ST OF MARCH 2016.
PROTOCOL;
1. Let me begin by thanking all of you for honouring our invitation to this groundbreaking edition of the National Assembly Business Environment Roundtable (NASSBER). I want to especially thank the technical team lead by Professor Paul Idornigie, for their far reaching and very well researched report, our development partners DFID ENABLE project, the Nigeria Economic Summit Group (NESG), the Nigerian Bar Association Session on Business Law (NBA, SBL) for collaborating with us to make this day a reality.
2. When the present National Assembly came to the saddle last year, we inherited an economy that was sliding precipitously and dangerously out of control due to our over reliance on oil. It is this state of things that the new APC government inherited. We set forth therefore to frame for ourselves a specific legislative agenda to guide our legislative priorities. Our agenda was conceived on the notion of a renewed national development imperative which puts harnessing private sector at the fulcrum for national growth and development. We were alive from the onset that to achieve this would require deliberate steps to redefine the Nigerian business and investment climate using lawmaking. It all starts with a comprehensive legislative review.
