Tinubu To Indian Billionaire: I’ll Break All Bottlenecks

President Bola Tinubu has said his administration would dismantle all barriers to investment to rekindle confidence in Nigeria’s economy.

He emphasised that the country will soon become a destination of choice for investors because of measures being put in place to protect domestic and foreign investment.

The meeting occurred within 90 minutes of his arrival in India for the G-20 Summit.

The Hinduja Group of Companies is a conglomerate with a total asset portfolio exceeding $100 billion.

A statement by the president’s spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, said following the meeting, the Indian billionaire businessman proposed an automobile manufacturing deal with Nigeria.

Ministers of Finance Wale Edun, Trade and Industry Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite and Foreign Affairs Yusuf Tuggar accompanied the president to the meeting.

NLC Shuns Meeting With FG, Begins Day Two Warning Strike

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has entered the second day of its two-day warning strike, protesting the Federal Government's failure to address the challenges arising from the removal of fuel subsidies.

Despite Minister of Labour Simon Lalong's attempt to convene a meeting to address the union's concerns, the NLC refused to participate, leading to the Trade Union Congress (TUC) attending the meeting in their stead. The NLC directed its affiliate unions to join the strike in solidarity.

Reports indicate that several government ministries, departments, and agencies in Abuja have closed their doors in compliance with the strike. This trend has extended across various states, with monitoring groups ensuring members and government offices comply with the strike.

However, in Lagos, the impact of the industrial action at the Lagos State Secretariat appeared minimal as workers continued with their regular activities. Correspondent Nifesimi Olabiyi conducted an assessment and noted that there was only partial compliance with the strike in the state.
