The Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to implement friendly policies that will trigger the economic revival of Nigeria.
The President of ACCI, Dr Al-Mujtaba Abubakar, in a statement, urged the government to speed up the implementation of the commitment to increasing investment in Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in the country as stated in the president’s nationwide broadcast to commemorate the 63rd independence anniversary on Sunday.
Dr Abubakar said President Tinubu’s promise to increase employment and urban incomes, as well as provide investment funding for enterprises with great potential, was a welcome commitment, but that the promises should not be treated as business as usual.
He stated that the chamber would be interested in following up on activities of the inaugurated Committee on Tax Reforms to improve the efficiency of tax administration in the country and address fiscal policies that were unfair or hindered the business environment and slowed growth.

He also commended the policies of President Tinubu’s administration that were geared towards turning around the economy of the country and adding value to entrepreneurs.
Dr Abubakar called for cooperation and synergy between government agencies and the business community that would help boost economic activities and revive businesses that had closed down or were at the verge of collapsing.
