President Muhammadu Buhari has promised that the federal government will create at least 1.5 million jobs before the end of 2025. The President said the government plans to implement a comprehensive plan that includes developing special economic zones across the country and upgrading existing free trade zones in some parts of the country. He said: “Special Economic Zones have an important role to play in our scheme. “We have set up the Nigeria SEZ Investment Company Limited as a vehicle for participating in Public-Private Partnerships involving Federal and State governments and local and foreign private investors. This company will develop new Special Economic Zones all over the country, offering advanced infrastructure and facilities at competitive costs.
