President Bola Tinubu has applauded the election of Dr Olufemi Ogunyemi, MD/CEO of the Nigerian Export Processing Zone Authority (NEPZA), to the Board of World Free Zone Organisation (WFZO).
The President, in a statement by Mr Bayo Onanuga, his Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, said that Ogunyemi’s election to the board of the international body validated the ongoing reforms.
“These reforms are set to reposition the economy, bringing about a brighter future for all Nigerians.
“President Tinubu commends the Chief Executive Officer of NEPZA for his bold initiatives in making the institution globally competitive and creating more export platforms by opening up more investment opportunities.
“President Tinubu believes Ogunyemi’s election further validates the Renewed Hope Agenda reforms, which are focused on long-term and sustainable growth, by attracting foreign direct investment into the real sector,” the statement read.
The President urged Ogunyemi to seize the moment of his elevation to burnish the country’s image, showcase the Renewed Hope Agenda on the global stage, and integrate the Nigerian economy into the highly rewarding global economic ecosystem. (NAN)
