FG WOOS CANADIAN GOVT TO MINING SECTOR

The federal government has assured Canadian investors of incentives and conducive environment needed for their investments to thrive. 

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, gave this assurance at the on-going two-day, Nigeria-Canada Investment Summit with the theme: ‘Fostering Strong Business Partnership into the Future’. 

This is even as the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Alhaji Abubakar Bwari, stressed that the vast opportunities that exists in both the down and upstream sectors of Nigeria mineral development are clearer and ready for exploitation. 

Osinbajo, in a statement by the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, affirmed the tremendous opportunities for increased scope of trade and investment between Canada and Nigeria as he stressed the need to fully realise Nigeria’s immense investment potentials. He stated the various reforms put in place by the government of Nigeria to improve the ease of doing business in the country. 

He made reference to the inauguration of the Presidential Enabling Environment Committee (PEEC) being chaired by him as part of government efforts at improving the ease of doing business in Nigeria. The Committee according to him, was charged with progressively removing the challenge face by investors in doing business in Nigeria and ensure coordination across several ministries and agencies of government.
