Committed to achieving its objective of creating a conducive business environment in Nigeria, the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) chaired by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN has approved a 60-day national action plan to push through short term reforms.

The Acting President, who addressed journalists after the Council’s meeting attended today by the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki and Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara at the State House, said the Council will within the stipulated period focus on areas that will not only deliver tangible changes for SMEs but also help improve Nigeria’s entire business environment within the shortest possible time.

According to Prof. Osinbajo, "we are trying to improve the business environment in three broad respects; the entry and exit of goods; entry and exit of persons into Nigeria, and then general government transparency- transparency and efficiency in government agencies, parastatals.
"The whole idea is that we are able to provide an environment for those who want to do business in Nigeria- local businesses and of course, foreign businesses."

The Acting President said the participation of National Assembly’s leadership at Tuesday’s meeting was to "work together, trying to improve the business environment in Nigeria."

Prof. Osinbajo said the renewed synergy with the legislature was to ensure that all the necessary legislations relating to the reforms were passed by the National Assembly.

The Acting President said: "There are pieces of legislations that we are also looking forward to seeing. We are working together with the National Assembly to ensure that these pieces of legislations are passed."
He added that the expected outcome of the new plan will be noticeable in improvements in all the key areas of government that facilitate trade and commerce.

According to Acting President Osinbajo, "there are improvements which we expect to see at our ports. Improvements at our airports, improvements at the seaports, improvements in immigration visas etc.

"So there are quite a few things that we have seen and which we will continue to look at."

Prof. Osinbajo however noted that "the set timelines in the action plan were to ensure that we are not just speaking about these things without necessarily tying ourselves down to specific timelines."

In his own remarks, the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki stressed the importance of the executive/legislature collaboration in creating a conducive business environment for both local and foreign businesses in Nigeria.

The senate president, who commended the efforts of the executive, said the National Assembly would look into some of the issues that it could to improve the business environment in the country.

The Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives led the leadership of the National Assembly to the expanded meeting of the PEBEC.
Also present at the meeting were federal ministers who are members of the Council including the Attorney General & Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami, SAN; Industry, Trade and Investment Minister, Dr Okey Enelamah; Power, Works and Housing Minister, Mr Babatunde Fashola, SAN; and the Information and Culture Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

Other members of the Council including the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hammed Ali (rtd), the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Muhammed Babandede and the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Hadiza Bala Usman, attended the meeting.

Wailers will die so early... the thing is, Buhari Resigns or not, it will still be a big, win win for the progressives, that Way Osibanjo will rule in his stead and all what Buhari sort to attain will be attained with him..

PMB has already set the pace for the Nigeria of our dreams, a Nigeria whr stealing is corruption, and where the corrupt and powerful get to walk the court and prisons.

that's all I ever asked for, To industralize Nigeria is what I will do, when u get there

What miracle is expecting to happen in a country where majority of the citizens are gullible.
What practical changes occur since PMB left the country but all I see as change is level of slowpoke of many for simple to complex situations.
We are wallowing in recession and unjustified hick in prices of commodities still many are so rooted in bigot and see no reason to stage protest against the national assembly that eating fat in our national cake.
60 days or more will not change anything because we know where the problems are and intentionally fail to address it properly.
I pray for poor masses who at the receiving end and always suffer the consequences of bad governance and feeble citizens.
