He also expressed his elation at the achievements of BUA which had led to phenomenal growth within such a short time.

“As a Government, we know we have done a lot in this regard, and we will continue to do more to support the aspirations of serious businesses, big and small, by providing an enabling environment as well as supporting value creation within Nigeria,” Buhari stated.

Buhari further stated that entrepreneurs and the business community, whose investments align with the priorities of the government in value and job creation, will continue receiving the full support of his administration, noting that the huge growth experienced by conglomerates like BUA Group is evidence of the correctness of government policies.

He added that the government’s current focus on import substitution to encourage local production and export stimulates growth and stability and, urged investors to take advantage of the vision.
