President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Abdul-Samad Rabiu, Chairman of BUA Group, on his reappointment by French President Emmanuel Macron as President of the France-Nigeria Business Council.
The President’s message of congratulations was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja by Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity.
Buhari praised Rabiu for his pivotal role in moving the objectives of the association launched a year ago forward, as well as for maintaining the trust and confidence of members of the strategic council.
The President expressed delight that under Rabiu’s leadership, the council had made significant progress in plans by some of Nigeria’s largest banks to establish subsidiaries in France, as well as BUA’s partnership with Axes France to build a 200,000bpd refinery in Akwa Ibom.
As top business leaders continued to build strategic partnerships aimed at improving business relations between the two countries, President Buhari assured the Chairman of BUA and pioneer president of the council of the Federal Government’s unwavering support.
He also praised the council’s efforts to support the government’s economic program in the areas of infrastructure development, agriculture, power, job creation, and wealth creation.
According to him, the focus of this administration’s economic diplomacy is attracting foreign investments into the country, which benefits ordinary Nigerians.
As a result, he assured Nigerians and all foreign policy stakeholders that, after reaping the benefits of major investments in the country over the last seven years, his administration would continue to vigorously promote Nigeria as a preferred and appealing destination for international investors.
