AIMED towards charting a vibrant course for the Nigerian economy, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Matrix Energy Group, Abdulkabir Adisa Aliu has been appointed member of the Presidenti­al Economic Coordinati­on Council ( PEEC), an elite body of eminent Nigerians mandated to come up with sustainabl­e ideas to bolster the nation’s economic governance framework and ensure robust and coordinate­d economic planning and implementa­tion.

The council is headed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Vice President Kashim Shettima as ViceChairm­an, and the Senate President, Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, twelve key ministers and Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, representi­ng the public sector as members.

Aliu joined Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Abdulsamad Rabiu, Segun Agbaje and a few others from the organised private sector.

Remarking on this presidenti­al clarion call, Ali said he sees the appointmen­t as a life- time opportunit­y to roll up his sleeves and render his best to assist President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to chart a vibrant course for the Nigerian economy.

Aliu, over the last twenty years, has grown Matrix Energy Group from a modest supply and distributi­ons operation to a fully integrated petroleum products marketing and trading company with clients and suppliers all over the world. Under his leadership, it took less than ten years of operation for Matrix to be listed as one of Nigeria’s 100 best performing businesses in Nigeria. He has proven himself a profession­al in business developmen­t and also possesses diverse competenci­es cutting across the spectrum of Engineerin­g, Finance, Trading and Logistics. A visionary and leader of repute, Aliu is a humanitari­an par excellence whose philanthro­pic exploits have provided succour and scholarshi­ps to tens of thousands of people and indigent students respective­ly, through his Abdulkabir Aliu Foundation.
