According him, “Governments in most economies adopt or maintain regulations that burden entrepreneurs and this limits the entrepreneur’s ability to freely operate a private business.

“ Government policies , procedures dictate prescribed norms which often stifle innovation  and impact negatively on  vision in business

“Difficulty in Business registration with Government regulatory agencies such as NIMASA, NPA and the existing bureaucracy has in no doubt been the bane  of Ease of Doing Business.”

In finding solutions to  the challenges, he urged the Federal Government  to ensure that regulation is used to achieve the goal of freedom to do business so as  protect individual investments.

“ Government must reduce the cumbersome way of doing business in our ports and find a way to soften their policies in order to make business attractive to investors and foreigners,” he advised just as  urged Government  to reduce the agencies at the ports , remove the bottlenecks on the ports access roads  and cargo clearance .

“Government must build infrastructure and ensure free flow of traffic on the roads and highways

Government should consider business reform aimed at boosting Economic development, he advised.

He commended  MAJAN for organizing the roundtable and  urged  the Association and the entire mass media to do more in Business reportage
