Tinubu inaugurates Economic Advisory Committee with Elumelu, Dangote as members

A tripartite Economic Advisory Committee, consisting of the Federal Government, subnationals, and the private sector, was established by President Bola Tinubu on Sunday night, Persecondnews reports.

This is one of the steps taken to address the continued economic hardship in the nation following the elimination of petrol subsidies and the depreciation of the naira.

The group was established as a result of Tinubu’s Sunday evening discussion with influential members of the private sector.

Among the prominent Nigerian businessmen present at the meeting were Tony Elumelu, Chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA), Abdul Samad Rabiu, Chairman of the BUA Group, and President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote.

In his speech, President Tinubu said the committee’s establishment was intended to help further stabilise the economy and provide the greatest possible future for Nigerians.
