Fall described such partnerships as important in galvanizing coordinated social impact support by the private sector, which is essential for rescuing the SDGs in Nigeria. “What we hope to achieve this year is to build on the momentum we have gained from two years by engaging decision-makers from the private sector and other key sectors to move from commitments to action, as shown in the design of this year’s edition,” she said.
PwC has highlighted the potential of the Electricity Act 2023 to significantly mitigate the $28 billion lost to the power sector yearly. The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture have raised serious concern over the impacts of the new 0.5 per cent cybersecurity levy on business, seeking abrupt withdrawal or drastic reduction of the charge.
