The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) Saratu Umar has reiterated that NIPC will be a strong public institution, with a private sector orientation that delivers effective and efficient services that exceed the expectations of all stakeholders in the investment ecosystem and indeed, in Nigeria.
Umar gave the assurance on Thursday when she resumed office in Abuja stating she will take to a logical conclusion the National Investment Promotion Master plan which is aimed at having clear actions that key into federal government’s various sectoral master plan and policies.
In her words “We will orchestrate and execute targeted investment drives along country-specific, investor-specific, sector-specific, industry-specific, regional- specific, and investment-type specific strategies to facilitate FDI (and LDI – Local Direct Investment) that fit into Nigeria’s development and investment needs, in an inclusive, coordinated, tangible, measurable and effective manner.
She also called on management staff of the commission to lead by example if we are to effectively lead our subordinates.
She said they must
set the example for others to follow. I expect all of us, and I mean all staff, to be ethical, committed, and above board.
She also said sustainable success comes from intangibles like having an inspired group of committed people working together for a common cause.
