President Muhammadu Buhari has heartily welcomed the phenomenal improvement of Nigeria on the World Bank’s Doing Business latest rankings released Tuesday.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, the President said this “reflects our efforts to make it easy for foreign business visitors to obtain visa on arrival, pass through our airports and do their businesses with ease and speed.”

Besides moving up 24 places in the rankings, Nigeria is also reported by the World Bank to be among the Top Ten Reformers globally.

In view of this, Mr Buhari congratulated all Nigerians, describing it as a very significant step forward which symbolizes the real success achieved by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, (PEBEC), the National Assembly and state governments in making it easy for people to register their businesses speedily, obtain licenses and approvals from government agencies without encountering unnecessary bureaucratic bottlenecks.

The President particularly commended PEDEC chaired by Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, for a job well done, stressing that he looks forward to even greater achievements for the nation.
