It’s not shameful copying what works in other climes – Tinubu

 President Bola Tinubu has said his administration is
prepared to learn and is not ashamed of adopting effective policies from other
countries.

 

Tinubu also stated that the telecoms sector’s regulatory
framework and operations would be reviewed to reflect global best practices,
with a greater focus on protecting infrastructure.

 

The President made this remark during a meeting with an
Airtel delegation led by its Chairman, Sunil Bharti Mittal, at the Presidential
Villa on Thursday in Abuja.

 

“I am grateful for your openness, readiness, and confidence,
which brought us closer to the Prime Minister of India. When he was here, we
discussed things at length.

 

“The entire ecosystem will be further examined, and if there
is anything we can adopt from India, we are ready to do so. We are prepared to
learn. We are not ashamed of adopting what is working in other countries.

 

“It is for the good of all of us, and Nigeria is so
critically important that we must focus on revolutionary strategies that can
enhance business operations. I am pro-business, and I will continue to be that.
I can give you that assurance,” he said.

 

The President explained that tax reforms will create a more
favorable climate for investors.

 

Speaking at the event, Minister of Communications,
Innovation, and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, thanked the President for his
consistent support of the telecoms sector’s growth.

 

Tijani said the President’s approval for the protection of
fiber optic and undersea cables as critical national assets would further
stimulate growth in the industry. He also assured that the Office of the
National Security Adviser, NSA, has begun implementing and enforcing the law.

 

On his part, the Chairman of Airtel commended the President
for his economic reforms, which he said had positioned the economy for future
growth.

 

“When you took office, you made some promises. Given the
country’s situation, I was unsure how deep and far you could take your
commitments,” he said.
