Honeywell Calls for Stronger Public-Private Partnership for Sustained Economic Devt

The management of Honeywell Group has advocated that effective public-private partnership (PPP) is needed to build the Nigerian economy and encourage the emergence of businesses that transcend generations.

This view was expressed by the group Senior Adviser on Government Relations, Mrs. Oluwayemisi Busari, recently in Abuja when she spoke on the sidelines of the 28th Nigeria Economic Summit (NES28), organised by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG).

She said PPP would enable more businesses and Nigerians to have improved access to electricity and potable water supply as well as help the country to address its inadequate seaports, airports, and roadways facilities that have been stalling the country’s economic growth and ease of doing business, especially the international trade.

Speaking on the importance of government-private sector collaboration, and the role of transformational leadership in economic development, Busari said: “The public and private sectors are like conjoined twins with a symbiotic relationship. Corporate organisations need the government as much as the government requires the support of the private sector.

“We need to have more relevant policies for businesses, and corporate organisations need to invest in strengthening their relationships with the government by providing the right support.

“At Honeywell Group, we ensure that we work closely with the government to drive the economy. We believe in forming strong partnerships that will enable positive impact. This goes to the core of who we are as a business.”
