President Bola Tinubu rejoices with the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Export Processing Zone Authority (NEPZA), Dr Olufemi Ogunyemi, on his election to the Board of World Free Zone Organisation (WFZO), a significant achievement that makes us all proud.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Special Adviser to the president on information and strategy Bayo Onanuga said the President notes that Ogunyemi's election to the board of the international body is a testament to the ongoing reforms. These reforms are set to reposition the economy, bringing about a brighter future for all Nigerians.

Onanuga said President Tinubu commends the Chief Executive Officer of NEPZA for his bold initiatives in making the institution globally competitive and creating more export platforms by opening up more investment opportunities.

He said President Tinubu believes Ogunyemi’s election further validates the Renewed Hope Agenda reforms, which are focused on long-term and sustainable growth, by attracting foreign direct investment into the real sector.

The President urges him to seize the moment of his elevation to burnish the country's image, showcase the Renewed Hope Agenda on the global stage, and integrate the Nigerian economy into the highly rewarding global economic ecosystem.
