As part of efforts to enhance the business climate in the country, the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has unveiled plans to begin subnational tours to enhance the ease of doing business in the states.

The tours are scheduled to begin on November 12 in Katsina State and aim to enhance the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) reforms at the state level through strategic collaborations with government entities, private sectors, and international partners.

The Project Manager, PEBEC Secretariat Aimeya Okpebholo in a statement said the tours scheduled from November 12-14, will feature townhall sessions, stakeholder engagements, and an MSMEs exhibition, where participants from other Northwestern states like Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara are expected to attend. 

The effort, according to the Okpebholo, is in alignment with the government’s mission to improve Nigeria’s business climate and foster transparency between businesses and regulators.
