Tinubu meets with Dangote, Elumelu, others

Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu had a “crucial” meeting with some members of the organised private sector on Sunday.

The meeting was held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The meeting had in attendance Alhaji Aliko Dangote, President, Dangote Groups; Tony Elumelu, Chairman, Heirs Holding and Transcorp Plc; Abdulsamad Rabiu, Chairman, BUA Group; Wale Tinubu, and other members of the private sector.

This is coming amid the economic hardship confronting Nigerians.

The current hardship is occasioned by the removal of subsidy on petroleum products and the rise in the exchange rate of dollars to naira.

Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Nigeria announced draft guidelines in a sweeping policy intervention for BDCs, including a ban on street trading and a fresh per capita share requirement for registration.
