 Regulating agencies in Nigeria have been charged to make clear policies in order to enhance bilateral trade with other countries and to revive the country's economy. This charge was given at the International Business Conference at Expo 2023, organized by Lagos Chambers of Commons and Industry in Lagos. Correspondent Paul George was there. Gathered in this hall are businessmen and women from different parts of the world at the second day of this conference. The event is not just to discuss bilateral trade among countries, but to improve and encourage small-medium enterprises in Nigeria. The president of LCCI, Michael Olawale Coal, believes that if the country's regulatory agencies are reformed, Nigeria can become one of the top countries of the world. Regulators must place small weight on growth and improving competitiveness as part of the force in which regulatory policies are formulated. I certainly believe that Nigeria can become Africa's infrastructure. The world besides the regulatory agencies is necessary as a condition for attractive global interest, which also supports economic growth. The director-genera of LCCI, Dr. Chinyure Aumona, says having some of these regulatory bodies in the conference help answer some questions of the guests. She spoke alongside others. We can see now we're having this question and answer session. They have been asked some questions and they are getting answers. So that's what we want to happen, that the government authorities are part of the conversation at every point in time. This is a very good event, which is to look at how we can improve and build internationally. At this point in time in our country, we have a global village and we're looking at how to improve normal exports. So I think it's very timely. And at every point in time we're working with various state governments, various at the federal level and the state, to ensure that these investors, when they come, they stay. And they can improve and include their business and open more opportunities for people to be employed. We are letting everybody know that standards are available and also let them know how to receive, use and achieve the requirements of the standard to ensure there's compliance meeting the requirements of the standards. So many are not able to interpret these requirements of the standards. We are here to let them know that it is easy to understand and to use and readily available for the Nigerian populace and direct them to where and where to get it. Others who spoke including Benjamin Oma and Jetty Bejerum agreed that Nigeria is a marketplace and that they cannot wait to strengthen the ties in business. Nigeria for us is one big country and the best country for Africa to do business. Nigeria is very developed and secluded. We will have best land but we are not developed in agriculture. So now you need that experience to come to develop it in our country. So that is our challenges. We don't have maritime life, I tell you, I tell you before. We need that experience for maritime trade. So now we need that experience to come to implement and equal to Nigeria. I'm here because Nigeria is a marketplace and as a denominator for future growth and development is the place to be. It's a long-term investment when you want to do business in Nigeria but you can gain so much from it across the sectors that we work in. As most countries of the world experience economic challenges the speakers are hopeful that with the right policies Nigeria can attract investors for sustainable economic growth.
