PEBEC Director-General, Princess Zahrah Audu

The federal government says it is committed to working with states to remove bottlenecks affecting businesses, starting with a subnational engagement in Plateau State.

Director General of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, Princess Zahra Mustapha Audu, stated this in Jos on Monday during a town hall meeting with the organised private sector.

“We’re here today for two reasons: one, we had a technical session with the Subnational Ease of Doing Business Council, which is chaired by the Secretary of the Government of Plateau State. And then this afternoon we’re having a town hall meeting with all the organised private sectors,” Audu said.

She explained that the engagement was designed to “interface with the businesses, understand the peculiarities of doing business in Plateau State,” and to “bring the subnational government closer to the businesses.”
