“While we appreciate the objectives of the scheme and the need to address gaps in the management of expatriate employment in Nigeria, the decision by the government is nothing short of genuine concern for the plight of organised businesses.
“This has further affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s administration as a listening one. The speed of response to organised businesses’ concern was commendable and worthy of note.”
Oyerinde emphasised the need to deepen engagements between the government and the private sector, and stated that the sector was always ready for any meeting to discuss the issues.
“We urge an inclusive engagement with members of the Organised Private Sector of Nigeria (OPSN) with the view of harvesting workable solutions and options for a win-win position for the economy and the private sector,” he stressed.
