“Our President has laid out a vision to fully diversify the economy beyond oil and has been committed to the actualisation of the project. The overarching objective of the agenda targets private sector investment and business development as a major plank of the plan.
“This is because of our belief in the ingenuity, creativity, entrepreneurship of our people and that in order to create jobs, give our people better opportunities, the private sector remains our best option.
“This is at the heart of the clamour for diversification; from agriculture business support, to credit, economic reform bills, to MSMEs, taxation, conflict resolution, regulatory reform bills, our agenda is firmly rooted on increased participation, diversification and capital formation,” he added.
