That is<br \/>\nwhy we have placed high premium on securing the country, because you<br \/>\ncannot effectively manage a country you have not secured.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My party campaigned on three main planks: security, employment<br \/>\ngeneration and anti-corruption.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We campaigned on zero corruption, promising that we would run an<br \/>\naccountable government and we are keeping our promises.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the crash in the international crude oil prices and its<br \/>\neffect on the Nigerian economy, President Buhari informed his hosts that<br \/>\nNigeria is blessed with vast arable land for agriculture, and rich deposit<br \/>\nof solid minerals, which the businessmen can invest in, and reap rich<br \/>\nreturns in a short while.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Agriculture and solid minerals will mobilize youths for gainful<br \/>\nemployment. We have the capacity not to need to import food at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But we need to also tackle infrastructure deficit in power,<br \/>\ntransportation, rail, road, and in other areas. We will put together an<br \/>\narticulated plan, which would be discussed with you shortly, so that you<br \/>\ncan make investment decisions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All impediments like delayed processing of permits, multiple taxation,<br \/>\nand corrupt practices, would be removed,\u92f3 the President said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on behalf of the Qatari businessmen, Muhammed Bin Ahmed Bin Towar<br \/>\nAl Kuwari, Vice Chairman of Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry said<br \/>\nthey would be interested in the finance, oil and gas, telecommunications,<br \/>\ntourism, agriculture and food processing sectors, among others.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All eyes are on Africa in the next decade. Africa is the next place for<br \/>\ngrowth, the rest of the world is looking towards the continent, and<br \/>\nNigeria is an important part of that continent,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the business community in Qatar that Nigeria would remove any impediment that can hinder investment in the country.
