Conclusion We need a more critical citizenry, a business community that realizes that business remains in danger until we get the law right. We also need more active engagement of all concerned parties, as well as blanket, not selective enforcement of the laws. The new Nigeria is already emerging, slowly but surely. However, beyond legislation, we need to change our attitudes and value system for the nation to move forward. Nigerian Economic Summit 41
SUMMIT’S 50 TH ANNIVERSARY DINNER Mrs. Funke Osibodu, while making the opening remarks, noted that the Summit was coming a few days after the nation’s 50 th independence anniversary, which presented an opportunity to focus on leadership and issues on economic growth. She reflected on the earlier sessions and rated them as successful. She noted that there was a consensus that Nigeria had not surmounted the critical challenges in infrastructure, capacity building, insecurity, poor corporate governance and rule of law. The focus of the Summit on visionary leadership was not by choice; the timing was just appropriate and inevitable. The notion of good governance was important in order to guarantee fairness in both the public and private sectors; for example, the banking industry. The challenge was not identifying issues, but that of implementating and enforcing the rule of law, and measuring subsequent progress. She noted that the Scorecard identified and presented by NESG at NES#15, would be a continuous process to facilitate implementation. The NES#16 Scorecard presented an international and local perspective and the success/ failure depended on the private/public sectors’ dialogue to proffer solutions to move Nigeria forward and achieve its full potential; we must be accountable. She therefore called on all participants to be active in all the sessions, while enjoining them to enjoy their dinner. Goodwill Message - Engr. Joe Makoju, Special Adviser to Aliko Dangote Engr. Makoju expressed his pleasure in delivering this message on behalf of the Dangote Group and conveyed Aliko Dangote’s apology for being unavoidably absent. He said that sponsoring the Summit was a way of identifying with and appreciating the NES and its policies, from which the Dangote Group had also benefited. He then, reviewed the Company’s progress over the past eight years, particularly in the area of implementation. He said 42 Nigerian Economic Summit
