We’ll cut out wastage says Buhari

The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate retired General Muhammadu Buhari said on Sunday that his administration will run a market based economy; with regulatory framework, and effective enforcement mechanism with zero tolerance for corruption if elected president.

The APC flag bearer said he will run a lean and efficient administration in order to have funds available for capital and development projects that will assure prosperity for all Nigerians.

Speaking ahead of his town hall meeting at the Nike Lake Resort in Enugu on Monday, his campaign media and publicity director Malam Garba Shehu quoted him as saying his government will deepen a viable free market economy in the country and that businesses will enjoy marked differences in the environment for undertaking their activities.

Nigerian citizens in business, foreign investors and young entrepreneurs under the APC presidency will enjoy equal incentives and friendly business and investment climate, Buhari said.

“It is envisaged that this will help them to participate and engage in productive economic and entrepreneurial activities geared towards the resuscitation and revamping of the nation’s economy and its capacity to generate millions of direct and indirect job opportunities for our teeming youths,” he said.

Buhari said APC’s national economic policy will support, and insist on diligent implementation of annual budgets to guarantee accountability and transparency in public resources management.‎

“Make no mistake about it, the Buhari/Osinbajo government will run a market based economy; but with clear and unambiguous regulatory framework and effective enforcement mechanism with zero tolerance for corruption.”
