The minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, have said that the Buhari-led administration is working hard to ensure that the economy grows as fast as that of China.
She said this at a news conference on the forthcoming 25th Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja.
She said “We have established a competitiveness advisory council and special economic zones (SEZs) in the six geo-political zones, as a vehicle for partnering with the private sector. The initiative is in line with the modern trend of providing infrastructure to business clusters to improve and boost economic activities in such zones as found in China and other fast-growing economies. We believe that these initiatives will improve trade balances, investment and create jobs”.
