The Federal Government is taking its campaign to reduce dependence on oil and diversify the nation’s economy further, by planning to meet directors of quoted and non-quoted companies in Lagos.
In a statement signed by the Institute of Directors of Nigeria (1oDs), Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo is expected to unfold the government’s economic programmes during the investiture of Mr. Samuel Samuel Akeju, as the President/Chairman, Governing Council of the Institute of Directors of Nigeria (IoDs) in Lagos.
The statement said Osinbajo has agreed to attend the event in order to rub minds with players in the nation’s corporate cycle on how to move the country’s economy forward.
It would be recall that President Muhammadu Buhari, penultimate week, met the Board of Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria(ICAN) at the Villa in Abuja, where he urged accountants to demonstrate a reasonable level integrity and further use their expertise to grow the economy, which he said, depends largely on oil for sustenance.
