Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has called on the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry to find ways of generating employments for the teeming unemployed in the capital city.
This is even as he promised to create a business friendly environment for the businesses of all kinds to thrive.
The minister who spoke today when he received a delegation of the Chamber, led by its President, Mr. Tony Ejinkeonye said that the Chamber is a member of the Organized Private Sector (OPS) and that it is an important organ for generating massive employment for the citizenry.
“Your role cannot be overemphasized; that is why this government encourages you to generate employment for the teeming populace. The Federal Capital Territory needs commercial activities because Abuja has the ready market which is a veritable asset.”
Muhammad Bello advised the Chamber to embark on a more aggressive membership drive to bring to its fold, traders’ groups in the markets and motor parks, adding that this would go a long way to reduce the dirty environment in market places.
Speaking earlier, the President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Tony Ejinkeonye said that the Chamber is ready to forge partnership with the FCT Administration in order to take Abuja to the next level of development. [myad]
