The Federal Government is set to implement a new policy that would bring about transparency in the government operations and ease the process of doing business in the country.
President Muhammadu Buhari made this known today when a foreign business man presented what was termed policies on enhancing Nigeria’s trade and economic competitiveness at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The President said that the new policies will be focused on increasing efficiency and transparency in government operations, and the blocking of leakages from revenue generating agencies.
President Buhari said that his administration is fully committed to closing all the loopholes in the revenue generating agencies, increasing their efficiency in trade facilitation and ensuring transparency in all government businesses so as to attract greater foreign direct investments into the country.
He added that the Nigeria Customs Service, Ministry of Trade and Investment, Ministry of Finance and other relevant agencies will be encouraged to adopt some of the positive ideas contained in the presentation for implementation next year.
The foreign business man, Mr. Lim Chee Boon, had told President Buhari that virtually all the countries that implemented his company’s solutions have successfully reduced corruption in their import and export processes. [myad]
