Although the Nigerian economy is improving, Asiwaju assured that with his track record of turning waste into wealth, the economy will be boosted once more.
The town hall session had in attendance the Vice Presidential candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima, Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Simon Bako Lalong who is also the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku Bagudu, Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq, Abubakar Badaru, Dapo Abiodun, Adegboyega Oyetola, Nasir El-Rufai and Abdullahi Ganduje as well as other party leaders and chieftains.
The business community was fully represented by the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, Jim Ovia, Chairman of Zenith Bank, Tony Elumelu, Chairman of UBA, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, former Chief Executive of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, Group Chief Executive of Access Bank and other business leaders representing sectoral groups such as agriculture, Oil and Gas, Trade, Manufacturing, creative Sector among others.
The APC presidential candidate laid out his Action Plan before the business leaders. Asiwaju stated that having achieved similar economic success as Lagos State governor, he has the capacity to repeat the same in the country as president.
As a result, he urged the Lagos Business Community to work with him to achieve this goal, stating that a viable economy necessitates collaboration between the political and business communities.
He empathised the importance of shifting the country’s reliance on exporting raw materials to nations that sell finished products to us at exorbitant prices to one that refines raw materials for upward export.
Commending the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for its patriotism and commitment, he itemised his administration plans to build on their achievements.
These, he said include reviving dead industries, promote agriculture, provide power, produce and use made in Nigeria goods, build infrastructure and most importantly improve the country’s security.
