Business leaders, policymakers and lawmakers have renewed calls for reforms to improve Nigeria’s investment climate and ease of doing business during the Legislative Business Breakfast at the 2026 National Assembly Open Week.
Stakeholders at the forum stressed that stronger collaboration between the legislature and the private sector is essential to attracting investment, creating jobs and driving sustainable economic growth.
Director-General of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), Princess Zahra Audu, highlighted the importance of policy and regulatory reforms that reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks and make Nigeria a more attractive destination for local and foreign investors.
Former Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, called for stable and predictable laws that transcend political administrations, noting that policy consistency is critical to boosting investor confidence.
Responding, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, reaffirmed the commitment of the National Assembly to enacting business-friendly legislation that will strengthen the investment climate and enhance Nigeria’s competitiveness.
The House says the planned reforms are aimed at removing obstacles to business growth, encouraging private sector investment and supporting long-term economic development.
