The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has invited Presidential candidates of the three foremost political parties in Nigeria to address the organized private sector on their Economic blueprint for Nigeria
A statement from the Chamber said the Private Sector Economic Forum for the 2023 Presidential election is part of its public policy advocacy to continuously explore ways of creating a conducive business environment in Nigeria through positive engagement with Governments at all levels.
According to the statement, the forum is scheduled to hold on three separate dates at the Commerce House Victoria Island, Lagos as follows:
People’s Democratic Party’s Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; Tuesday, September 13th, 2022, at 9.30am…
Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi: Wednesday; September 14th, 2022, at 9.30am and…
All Progressive Congress Party’s Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Friday, October 28th at 9.30am.
The statement read in part, “The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry has over the years offered a platform where Governorship and Presidential candidates from major political parties in Nigeria present their plans for Private Sector development in Nigeria.
“The LCCI has hosted this series of forum successfully over the last four political transitions (16 years) in the Country.
“While the LCCI is non-partisan, Private Sector operators are however interested in the economic agenda of the candidates and their plans to make a better Nigeria in the next dispensation.
“The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry remains committed to a strong Electoral process that will aid the growth and development of the Nigerian Economy.”
The physical event which will be streamed on all LCCI Social Media platforms will also provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions from the Presidential candidates on their manifesto.
