GOOD DEVELOPMENT! #Jonathan Recovers, Presides Over Investor Council Meeting In London# The President Jonathan, is said to have fully recovered from his brief illness as he presided over a session at the Honorary International Investor Council, HIIC, in London on Friday. According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati, the President had been indisposed while in London, and, after receiving medical attention, he was advised to rest for a few days. “The Presidency wishes to assure all Nigerians that President Jonathan’s condition is nothing serious and that the medical attention he has sought is only precautionary,” Mr. Abati said in his statement. At the meeting, the president apologised to the council members for his absence the previous day. He then stated that his administration had attained significant momentum on the drive to attract new investors into the country and would continue to encourage existing investors. “In 2014, we must not lose this momentum, but rather broaden our interventions to address other difficult issues like the high cost of financing in the country, and the dearth of adequate skills. “This 15th meeting builds on the last conversation we had in Abuja and begins to address the fundamental issues constraining competitiveness and investment in Nigeria. Competitiveness ultimately drives profitability, which is what investors are seeking worldwide,” he said. He, however, noted that to be competitive, long-standing issues needed to be addressed and courageous reforms introduced.
