The Group Managing Director, Skye Bank Plc, Mr. Timothy Oguntayo, has called for massive investment in manufacturing, agriculture and extractive industries to speed up the process of diversifying the nation’s economy.
He said this at a ‘Roundtable session on the manufacturing outlook for 2016’ organised by BAA Associates in Lagos.
The lender, in a statement on Monday,
quoted Oguntayo, who was a lead panelist at the event, as saying the
three sectors were critical for the success of the economic
diversification agenda of the current government in view of the
dwindling oil prices, low Gross Domestic Product growth, and rising
unemployment.
