The immediate past chairman of Nigeria Economic Summit Group and the Nigeria South Chamber Of Commerce, Folusho Philips, wants government to create an enabling environment for the private sector to thrive in the diversification process.
This comes as Nigerians continue to intensify calls for the diversification of Nigeria’s economy in the face of weakening oil price.
Mr Phillips was speaking at a business meeting in the Rivers State capital put together by the Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture on business opportunities in Nigeria beyond oil.
Meanwhile, the President of the chamber, Emi Membere-Otaji, said that it was time for the government to remove all forms of bottle necks for ease of doing business in the country.
