THE Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA) has sought to collaborate with the Federal Government on reforms that would drive economic growth in the country.
Mr Adewale-Smart Oyerinde, Director-General of NECA, said this at third edition of the Nigeria Employers Summit on Wednesday in Abuja.
The theme of the summit was “Economic Renaissance Harnessing Government Reforms and Private Sector Agility.”
Oyerinde said that President Bola Tinubu’s administration within one year had introduced different fundamental reforms that would shape the growth trajectory of the country.
According to him, these reforms, one way or the other has affect every body differently. It has affected the private sector and it is already affecting Nigerians and households.
“One of the aims of the summit is not just to interrogate the reforms but to find a way where we can create a deeper nexus between those reforms.
“It is also to create an environment where the private sector can play a major role in facilitating the achievement of the objectives of those reforms, as all reforms have their own objectives,”he said.
He said that the federal government needed credible organisations such as NECA to help drive the reforms to a logical conclusion.
He, therefore, said that the summit aimed basically to discuss the reforms of government and also to seek the private sector collaboration with government to achieve the objectives of the reforms.
“It also to let government know that much can be achieved when we deepen the collaboration between the private sector and government towards the fulfilment of the 8 point Agenda of this administration.
“This is because without the private sector involvement in those reforms, much cannot be achieved.
“Also, because new reforms or policies need new adjustment modalities and there should be gestation periods to adjust to the new reforms in the country,” he said.(NAN)(
