LCCI to engage Tinubu, Atiku, Obi on economic blueprint

The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) will host the 2023 presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; that of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; and their Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Mr. Peter Obi to hear their economic blueprints for Nigeria.

LCCI’s Director General, Dr. Chinyere Almona, announced this in a statement yesterday in Lagos.

Almona said the event is part of the 2022 edition of LCCI’s Private Sector Economic Forum for the 2023 presidential election.

She described the chamber as a non-partisan private sector operator which is interested in the economic agenda of the candidates and their plans to make Nigeria better.

The LCCI boss said as part of its public policy advocacy, the chamber would continuously explore ways of creating an environment conducive for business to thrive in Nigeria through positive engagements with governments at all levels.

Almona said LCCI had, over the years, offered a platform for governorship and presidential candidates from major political parties to present their plans for private sector development in Nigeria.

The LCCI boss also said the chamber had hosted series of forum successfully in the last four political transitions spanning 16 years.

“The forum, which is scheduled to hold on three separate dates at Commerce House, Victoria Island, Lagos, provides a first-hand opportunity for presidential candidates of the three leading political parties to speak to the organised private sector on their economic blueprint for Nigeria.

“…Atiku Abubakar is scheduled for Tuesday, September 13 at 9.30 a.m; LP’s Peter Obi is slated for Wednesday, September 14, at 9.30 a.m; and APC’s Asiwaju Tinubu will be engaged on Friday, October 28 at 9.30 a.m.

“The physical event, which will be streamed on all LCCI social media platforms, provides an

opportunity for participants to ask questions from the presidential candidates on their manifestoes.

“The LCCI remains committed to a strong electoral process that will aid the growth and development of the Nigerian economy,” Almona said.
