Senate President, Senator David Mark yesterday charged the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) to initiate a blueprint for revitalising the country’s ailing industries.
He said such initiative is the only way to revamp the nation’s economy.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Senate President, Paul Mumeh, said Mark stated this when he hosted the National Executive Committee of NACCIMA in Abuja.
He noted that all hands should be on deck to rescue the economy.
Mark said that the economic trend in the country demanded that stakeholders should make necessary sacrifice to enable the country to come out of the woods.
Mark underscored the need for collaborative efforts between public and the private sectors to formulate a common economic framework to salvage the economy.
This, he said, has become necessary since the 2012 budget placed greater emphasis on Agriculture as a means to salvage the economy.
The present administration’s reform and transformation agenda, Mark said, is critical “if we are to get out of the economic quagmire”.
The President of NACCIMA, Dr. Herbert Ademola Ajayi said the organisation has forwarded a blueprint on how Nigeria could be salvaged from the clutches of harsh economy and insecurity to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
Ajayi said that it is the hope of his organisation that the document would be implemented.
He said that NACCIMA will continue to contribute to the economic development of country.
He urged governments at all levels to create a conducive environment for industries to thrive.
