The Senate President, Bukola Saraki today received a delegation from Blackstone Group, led by Group CEO Stephen Schwartzman. The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, and the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote formed a part of the delegation.


The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways that the 8th Senate and businesses can partner to provide legislative framework that will lead to job creation and strengthening the Nigerian economy.

"One of our priorities in the legislature is to look at the private sector and the business environment because some of our old laws have not been reviewed and that is why we are setting up committees to look at and make it more interesting and attractive to invest in Nigeria," Saraki said.
