KADCCIMA President, Mr. Ishaya Idi, urges the Federal Government to promptly tackle issues in the nation’s manufacturing sector.
He responded to the proposal to move CBN and FAAN departments from Abuja to Lagos.
“Additionally, the envisaged humongous amount of money required for the relocation could be utilized to fund impactful projects.””
”We see no tangible reasons to support this development as it does not provide any immediate economic advantage to the country.
”The reason(s) advanced for the relocation would rather undermine the status of Abuja as the nation’s Federal Capital Territory.”
“Besides the high costs involved, relocating would cause emotional distress and disruption for affected civil servants,” noted.
”What we need now are clear policies and steps to revisit areas that gulp the nation’s dwindling foreign exchange.
He also advised the Federal Government to always promote and roll out policies that would unite Nigerians rather than polarise them.
NAN also recalls that the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has directed that the agency’s headquarters be relocated from Abuja to Lagos.
