The Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) has applauded the Federal Government for its proactive efforts in creating a more conducive business environment, now yielding tangible results through increased investments in Nigeria.
In a statement Signed by the ACCI Media/Strategy Officer, Olayemi John-Mensah, the Chamber lauded the government’s Economic Stabilisation Plan as a key driver in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) into the country, evidenced by the Coca-Cola system’s commitment to an additional $1 billion investment in Nigeria’s beverage and manufacturing sector.
Professor Adesoji Adesugba, First Deputy President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce, expressed the Chamber’s delight at the growing investor confidence fostered by the government’s policies. He noted that the Coca-Cola system’s significant investment is a testament to the effectiveness of the government’s initiatives, particularly the ongoing economic reforms to ensure sustainable growth.
