The Director General of the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), Mr. Sola Obadimu, has led a high-level delegation to the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, for strategic talks on Nigeria’s economic reform programme and the role of private sector leadership.
Welcoming the delegation, Mr. Edun emphasised the administration’s focus on correcting long-standing structural distortions to build a more resilient and inclusive economy. He pointed to recent progress in strengthening the Naira, attracting diaspora and domestic capital, and reducing import dependence through increased local production.
Mr. Obadimu commended key reforms, notably the removal of fuel subsidies and unification of the exchange rate, while calling for deeper engagement on tax clarity, access to trade finance for MSMEs, and better alignment between policy timelines and implementation.
The delegation also sought support for NACCIMA’s 65th Annual Conference, themed “Harnessing Private Sector Potential to Achieve a One Trillion Dollar Economy by 2030,” and its flagship Investment Summit in December.
Both parties affirmed that sustained economic transformation will depend on effective public-private partnership, placing the private sector at the centre of Nigeria’s long-term growth strategy.
