“The Nigerian economy has remained resilient with moderate GDP growth post-pandemic period, albeit below expectation with a spiraling inflation rate. The non-oil sectors have continued to contribute positively, driven by agriculture, service industries, and construction while oil and gas contracted due to low outputs,” she said.
However, She advocated that the incoming administration should formulate and implement sound pro-business policies and incentives that will promote an enabling environment for businesses to thrive as key factors for building a stronger economy.
