Our attention has been drawn to a news report the Punch Newspaper of the headlines “ 22 nd January in , 2019 with NACCIMA and others back Atiku on NNPC Privatization ” . We wish to make it clear that suggestions and insinuations contrary to the peddled by news report , NACCIMA has the not endorse particular candidate (s) in the d said any forthcoming General neutrality elections . is a core NACCIMA’s political principle imbibed by NACCIMA’ that is equally s Council, Executive Committee, Members and Employees. NACCIMA has a that as the non nethical partisan obligation to ensure voice of Businesses and the leading national Nigeri an member of the Organized Private Sector any political candid , we do not endorse ates and that we remain politically neutral on all issues, without exception.
NACCIMA as a matter of policy also does not make donations or contributions towards any political candidate or their campaigns and we remain even more resolute in our non-partisan stance as the forthcoming General Elections draw near. Rather that becoming a tool for political ends, NACCIMA is more than ever preoccupied with the fulfillment of its core objective of promoting and advocating for a conducive business environment which will promote the activities of the Private Sector for inclusive economic growth and development. This clarification has become necessary in view of the false narrative currently making the rounds that NACCIMA has now pitched its tent with a particular political candidate. Be assured that NACCIMA’s remains unflinching in its commitment to promoting what the best for the Nigerian economy and not the galvanization of support for political candidates contesting for elections at any level.
