The statement partly read, “The President sent the Business Facilitation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act to the National Assembly to ensure the ease of doing business and transparency, efficiency and productivity in Nigeria. The Act amends relevant legislation to promote the ease of doing business in Nigeria and institutionalise all the reforms to ease implementation. The business facilitation bill, among other things, applies throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
