The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) says it will commence a nationwide sensitisation tour on June 23 to drive ease of doing business reforms in the country.
Zahrah Mustapha-Audu, the Director-General of PEBEC, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
She said that the tour would feature technical sessions and town halls, providing a platform for stakeholders to engage with government officials, share experiences and propose reforms to ease business operations.
“The goal is to create a more conducive business environment, attracting investment, and driving economic growth across Nigeria.”
“The tour will provide an opportunity for businesses, investors, and the general public to interact with government officials, share concerns, and propose solutions to challenges hindering business growth,” she said.
According to her, PEBEC is driving impactful reforms to make business in Nigeria easier, more transparent, and less bureaucratic.
“From simplified processes to digital innovations, we’re creating an environment where businesses can start, grow, and thrive with ease,“ she said.
The initiative is part of PEBEC’s efforts to enhance the ease of doing business at the subnational level.
It intends to achieve that by collaborating with state governments, the private sector and international partners.
PEBEC, established in July 2016 by the Federal Government to oversee Nigeria’s business environment intervention, is tasked with the dual mandate of dismantling bureaucratic and legislative constraints to doing business.
It is also mandated to deliver Nigeria’s business environment reforms.
