Chairman of United Bank for Africa (UBA), Mr. Tony Elumelu, has urged President Bola Tinubu to make security a top priority in order to combat food scarcity and attract investment to Nigeria. Speaking at the Annual Conference of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) in Abuja, Elumelu emphasized that security is crucial for protecting citizens and fostering economic development.
Elumelu stated, “To protect our people, feed them, attract investment, and foster trade, we must prioritize security.” He described the current insecurity as a national crisis that requires immediate and decisive action. According to Elumelu, ensuring that citizens can work on their farms, live peacefully, and conduct their businesses without fear is fundamental to their rights.
Highlighting the importance of the banking sector, Elumelu noted its role as a cornerstone of Nigeria’s economy. He pointed out that the sector has undergone significant transformation over the past few decades, becoming a success story for the nation. The banking industry not only employs millions but also provides crucial financial support to countless businesses and generates income for millions of shareholders.
In response to Elumelu’s call, President Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, emphasized the need for the business and banking community to focus on capacity building, talent development, and youth empowerment as key drivers of economic growth. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fostering an environment conducive to economic expansion.
The President revealed that the federal government is training three million Nigerian youths in digital technology and essential skills, with plans to deploy them to innovation firms across the nation. He stated, “We are committed to achieving a 70 percent digital literacy level by 2027 through collaboration and innovation.”
Tinubu stressed the importance of equipping the youth with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities necessary to propel the nation forward. He reiterated that focusing on capacity building and talent development is vital for the future of Nigeria’s economy.
