\u00a0\u2026.wants multi-nationals to set up plants in Nigeria<\/p>\n

BY DANIEL IDONOR<\/strong><\/p>\n

ABUJA-PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan yesterday announced that Nigeria\u2019s foreign investment policies were due for a comprehensive overhaul, as part of deliberate attempts by government to grow the economy and generate employment for the youths.<\/p>\n

The President stated that the Federal Government would\u00a0 soon commence a review process of some of the economic policies to facilitate growth and development.<\/p>\n

The President gave this indication when he had an audience with some Heads of State and Government\u00a0 in Abuja. The visitor were in Nigeria for his inauguration.<\/p>\n

Specifically, President Jonathan, who began a fresh four years mandate on Sunday, disclosed that one of the reviews being proposed was to encourage and persuade manufacturers whose products were largely consumed in and by Nigerians to, as a matter of national and economic priorities, establish plants in the country.<\/p>\n

He said government would encourage such multinational business concerns to start production in Nigeria immediately, as part of his economic agenda for Nigerians.<\/p>\n

President Jonathan said Nigeria was ready to improve and enhance her bilateral, multilateral relations with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

In the area of rail transportation, Jonathan specifically assured the Chinese government of further collaboration to ensure that the rail system became fully operational, so as to ease\u00a0 the free and easy movement of goods and people across the country.<\/p>\n

He also promised to strengthen\u00a0 bilateral relations with\u00a0 Kuwait to boost Nigeria\u2019s energy sector, stating that both countries had\u00a0 common interest in the oil sector.<\/p>\n

According to President Jonathan, \u201cno matter how good a leader is, he must pass through a clean and clear democratic process.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said his commitment for free and fair elections was borne out of the desire to allow the will of the people to prevail.<\/p>\n

The leaders, who took turns to meet with the President, assured him\u00a0 of collaboration and support to ensure his tenure marked the beginning of a new dawn, renewed friendship and solidarity between Nigeria and their countries.<\/p>\n

They acknowledged Nigeria\u2019s leading role both in Africa and in\u00a0 international politics and expressed the desire to see Nigeria took up a permanent seat in UN Council.<\/p>\n

They congratulated Nigeria for the successful inauguration held Sunday, and commended President Jonathan for fulfilling his promise of ensuring free and fair elections in the last polls.<\/p>\n

Those he met with included Liberian President, Mrs. Ellen Johnson -Sirleaf; Trinidad and Tobago, George Maxwell; Burundi Vice- President, Gervais Rufyikiri Gervai and His Zambian counterpart, George Kunda. Others are Special envoys from North Korea, Morocco, Kuwait and China<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
