The Ooni of Ife and co-chairman of National Council Of Traditional Rulers Of Nigeria (NCTRN), Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has hailed President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s economic reforms.
Ooni Ogunwusi stated this in Abuja Sunday while hosting a 30- man delegation from the Republic of Kazakhstan, comprising business gladiators and top government functionaries led by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Alibek Kuantyrov.
The royal father stated that the hardship resulting from the president’s bold economic reforms is gradually giving way and yielding fruits for Nigerians.
“We all know the challenges of our dear country. I will give a simple example of a plane at the highest altitude dropping. Any casualty can come up in that process. But we thank God Almighty that things are normalising on a gradual basis in our country,” he said.
Ooni Ogunwusi added, “These are all the fruits of the great things we are seeing as a nation now. We want to send a message on behalf of the private sector and the traditional institution of this country that we are getting there gradually as a nation. For the first time in 20 years, the gap between the parallel market and the official market has been closed completely.
“It is quite evident that now our country is investor friendly. Our capital market is repositioned for a better inflow of foreign investment. Also, many Nigerian entrepreneurs that are here are looking forward to connecting with their associates from Kazakhstan as well.”
Leader of the team and Deputy Minister of Kazakhstan Foreign Affairs, Alibek Kuantyrov, while speaking urged the Nigerian government to consider opening an embassy in Kazakhstan to facilitate the ease of doing business with the African country.
Describing Ooni Ogunwusi as a spectacular African monarch, he praised him for agreeing to host his delegation at the maiden edition of their bilateral meeting.
