President Bola Tinubu has applauded the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Export Processing Zone Authority (NEPZA), Dr. Olufemi Ogunyemi, on his election to the Board of World Free Zone Organization (WFZO).
He said the election was a significant achievement that makes all proud.
In a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), President Tinubu notes that Ogunyemi’s election to the board of the international body is a testament to the ongoing reforms.
“These reforms are set to reposition the economy, bringing about a brighter future for all Nigerians”, the statement read in part.
President Tinubu commends the Chief Executive Officer of NEPZA for his bold initiatives in making the institution globally competitive and creating more export platforms by opening up more investment opportunities.
He believes Ogunyemi’s election further validates the Renewed Hope Agenda reforms, which are focused on long-term and sustainable growth, by attracting foreign direct investment into the real sector.
The President urges Dr. Olufemi Ogunyemi to seize the moment of his elevation to burnish the country’s image, showcase the Renewed Hope Agenda on the global stage, and integrate the Nigerian economy into the highly rewarding global economic ecosystem.
