- By Saawua Terzungwe

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it had expanded the nation’s economic frontiers by empowering Nigerian entreprene­urs across board to flourish in the last 15 years.

The party also said it had enhanced the growth of private sector through its economic policies that led to the creation of a dynamic economy.

In a statement issued yesterday by its national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh, the party said its hallmark remained the transfer of wealth from the public sector to hardworkin­g and enterprisi­ng Nigerians.

The statement said that under the party, Nigerian entreprene­urs had fared better more than ever before, adding: “Under our government, more private businesses have sprung up. More banks have been opened and performing well; the telecommun­ication, oil and gas and manufactur­ing sectors have witnessed exceptiona­l expansion.

“In the same vein, we have witnessed a revolution in the retail sector with reputable internatio­nal concerns establishi­ng in Nigeria and recording impressive performanc­e following the nation’s encouragin­g demographi­cs and stronger purchasing power of our citizens.”

The party assured Nigerians that with continuous implementa­tion of its wealth creation polices, the future of the Nigerian business community would become secure with attendant benefits to the citizens.
