Speaking
at the second presidential economic communication workshop in Abuja, Mahmud
said this was with a view to creating an enabling environment for businesses to
thrive.
He
also revealed that the cost of registering a business had been reduced by 50
percent.
“We
have reduced the cost of registering a business by 50 percent. You don’t need a
lawyer to register your business for you anymore. You can now do it yourself.
The process is easy now,” he said.
“You
can now register your business anywhere at our offices in Lagos, Kano and
Enugu.”
Earlier,

and investment, outlined measures the government was to taking to create
investment opportunities for the country.
According
