He said the decision was based on his administration’s conviction that the nation could not improve its economic performance without encouraging the private sector, especially the manufacturing arm.
Jonathan spoke while inaugurating the 18-member Board of the National Competitiveness Council of Nigeria chaired by the Minister of Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga.
The council is saddled with the task of increasing productivity and sales for local businesses, and will see to the expansion and creation of more markets for products made in Nigeria.
Jonathan said, “We believe that without encouraging the private sector, especially the manufacturing sector, we cannot get out of our economic position no matter how we struggle to produce primary produce, they will not create enough jobs for this country.
“That is why for the next two years and may be beyond 2015, Nigerian budgets will be geared towards encouraging the manufacturing sector in this country.”
Members of the board include the President, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, Chief Kola Jamodu; President, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote; Director-General, Nigeria Economic Summit Group, Mr. Frank Nweke (Jnr.); Chairman, Heirs Holdings and Founder, Tony Elumelu Foundation, Mr. Tony Elumelu; and Ms. Funke Adekoya (SAN).
Others are Prof. Esogbue Augustine, Ms. Ike Yvonne; and Publisher, BusinessDay, Mr. Frank Aigbogun.
The move is aimed at increasing productivity and sales for local businesses, and will lead to expansion and creation of more markets for made in Nigeria products.

I have been using this system for some time now; I will be showing you how to make unlimited cash with your liberty reserve account and a perfect money account. I will try to make it as short as possible. But clear, just like every other business your interest and seriousness counts.
"The reward for hard work is success".
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS.
1. open a liberty reserve account at www.libertyreserve.com ( this is free).
2. Open a perfect money account at www.perfectmoney.com (this is free).
3. Fund your liberty reserve account with a minimum of 11 USD, because of transaction charges, actually you needed a minimum of 10 USD.
(Note: To fund or sell your liberty reserve, go to www.google.com to search for an e-currency exchanger close to you.)
4. Go to www.rapid-goldex.com , and exchange 10 USD from your liberty reserve account to your perfect money account.
1 LR------>1.28 PM, so 10 LR----> 12.80 PM.
5. Go to www.superchange.ru or www.swapgold.com , exchange 12.80 Perfect money to 11.01liberty reserve.
1 PM ----> 0.86 LR, so 12.80 PM--->11.01 LR. You have gain 1.01 USD.

You can always increase your capital, because the more money you exchange the faster u make your cash. I can make up to 257 USD per day. Doing up to 25 exchanges per hour. But there is also no harm in starting small.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
