 Moving on now, the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Forecasts and Increasing Growth Performance Index in the second and third quarters of 2021. The President of the LCCI, Tokyo Mabugunje, made a prediction at the LCCI quarterly press briefing on Tuesday in Lagos. Now joining us this time around to make some sense out of all of this is the founder of the Unique Foundation, Dr. Kreese Emu Molland. Many thanks once again, Dr. Kreese, for joining us on Business Insight. The LCCI has come out to predict that the second and third quarter for business in Nigeria would be so favorable. But looking at what we have in place with the rising inflation and all of that, do you see this prediction as feasible? OK, thank you, Mr. Justin, for having me on your show. OK, the LCCI, yes, has predicted its prediction, of course, but looking at what is happening critically in the economy, we know that we don't even need a prediction. We don't need any form of statistics to say that the inflation rate is rising. You can see the cost of common products out there is going up. The petroleum product is going up. It has never, even from the first quarter of the year, has gone up. So I still have my own reservation for such prediction as one person that is into business and also assisting SMEs in the country. So it is clear that the prediction out there is one that we should critically look into. Prices of commodity are going up. The social intervention from government is not eating the grassroots business. You can see the general business outlook. I know some of these issues are primarily not just centered on government's role. Of course, the international market by itself is affected based on so many critical factors from the health sector to international business landscape, a lot of businesses are really affected. And let's come down home. We can talk about security and the rest of them. A lot of things have been affected. So for me, I don't see any feasibility or realistic in seeing that the quarter or the next quarter of the year would have them, if the government is not taking actions and steps that are largely different from what they think they are. OK, let's talk about these actions and steps that you have just mentioned. Last year was a terrible one for not just Nigeria's economy, but also the global economy. Several nations, of course, were hit by the impact of the coronavirus. And Nigeria, marginally, recorded some growth. What should the federal government should be? What should they be focusing right now to ensure that this growth actually stands? And of course, Nigerians can actually begin to enjoy a formidable industry in Nigeria, of course, to thrive in terms of business and so we can get the right investment in terms of FDI into the country. Yeah, I think the first is the CBN and every other sector. Agencies that are in charge of encouraging business in Nigeria should come up with as many as possible social intervention funds to help SMEs in Nigeria. I think this is a time for more tight regulations for banks to ensure that loans are giving out a good rate, not double digits, to supporting government. What I applaud was some sectors of the government have done by ensuring that many things are registered, given waiver for such. I think we want to see more of that agricultural sector by itself should be more supported, not the political support that we see, where support is going through political parties to, no, no, no, as in real farmers getting the job. Like we've had this done in the past by former minister of a Greek where farmers got things and it got to them directly. We want to see that there are approaches that get people in the grass to actually need this support, get them. Secondly, the security. We cannot talk without talking about the security. The security in every part of the country now is, I know the president is doing a lot. Recently, we've seen some critical moves to see how to cope that. Because if farmers now find it very difficult to move product from the north to the south, because of the security challenge, not just from the north itself, from the southeast. So I think the government need to look at taking deliberate step to solving numerous problems that are facing business transportation logistics, that are facing securement, getting funds to support business. I don't want to talk about power, because power has been a long-term issue that we've been talking about. But let's look at how do we solve these immediate problems that are really... All right, thank you, Dr. Chris Immomalene. That part, yeah. All right, thank you, Dr. Chris Immomalene. I'm afraid as much as we can talk specifically as regards the economy and what we need to do to ensure growth in that particular sectors that you have mentioned. Of course, you can also follow us on us very social media platforms and keep the conversation flowing. Business Insight returns again next week Friday by half past five. My name is Justin Acadone. Many thanks for watching.
