The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) is set to
hold the 2022 edition of its private sector economic forum ahead of the 2023
presidential election.
According to a statement issued by the chamber, the forum is
scheduled to hold on three separate dates at the Commerce House, Victoria
Island, Lagos.
LCCI said the forum would provide a first-hand opportunity
for presidential candidates of the three leading political parties to speak to
the organized private sector on their economic blueprint for Nigeria.
Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president of Nigeria and
presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is expected to
speak on Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 9.30 am; Peter Obi, presidential
candidate of the Labour Party (LP) is scheduled to speak on Wednesday,
September 14, 2022, at 9.30 am while Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), would speak on Friday, October 28, 2022, at
9.30 am.
As part of its public policy advocacy, the chamber said it
will continue to explore ways of creating a conducive business environment in
Nigeria through positive engagement with governments at all levels.
“The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry has over the
years offered a platform where governorship and presidential candidates from
major political parties in Nigeria present their plans for private sector
development in Nigeria,” the statement reads.
“The LCCI has hosted this series of forum successfully over
the last four political transitions (16 years) in the country.
“While the LCCI is
non-partisan, private sector operators are however interested in the economic
agenda of the candidates and their plans to make a better Nigeria in the next
dispensation.”
LCCI said the event would be streamed on social media
platforms and would also provide an opportunity for participants to ask
questions from the presidential candidates on their manifesto.
