We’ll remove bottlenecks to investment, ensure youths benefit from economic transformation: Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu, on Friday in Abuja, assured the manufacturing and service sectors that more reforms would be unfolded to enable efficiency and attract investments to the country.
He added that the ongoing economic ‘‘revolution’’ would be deliberately steered to capture and favour the teeming youths in the country.
The president stated this when he met with a delegation from the MTN, led by group chairman, Mcebisi Jonas, at the State House, Abuja.
“We have a responsibility to revolutionise the economy so that our youths can share in the prosperity of the nation; otherwise, we are only waiting for the dreams to be charted.
“If you have any problems or impediments, do let us know. We are ready to remove bottlenecks to investments in the economy,’’ the president assured.
The president said that the sweeping changes worldwide were largely driven by technology.
Mr Tinubu said the growing rural-urban migration could only be controlled with more investments in digital technology that would directly improve healthcare systems and education for the poor.
“The structural adjustments we are making are to ensure we face the right direction and arrive at a destination that caters for our people.
“You and I will make sure that the people have a share of that prosperity. We will, together, build a well-informed society.
“We have to re-assess the journey. I am glad the stock market is responding positively to the structural adjustments,’’ Mr Tinubu said.
Earlier, the MTN group chairman congratulated Mr Tinubu for the upswing of interest in the country within a short period since he assumed office.
