Chairman of the Organised Private Sector of Nigeria (OPSN), Dele Kelvin Oye, has called for a united and inclusive private sector to drive sustainable economic growth and development in the country.
Oye, who was recently elected chairman of the OPS in Nigeria, in a letter upon assuming office emphasized the importance of collaboration in strengthening the private sector, pledging to create an environment where all voices are heard and actively considered in decision-making processes and ensuring equitable representation of all stakeholders.
Expressing gratitude for the trust and confidence placed in him by OPSN members, Oye promised to work collectively with all stakeholders to address the pressing issues facing the private sector while leveraging the unique strengths and perspectives of its diverse membership.
“As we embark on this journey together, I want to make a commitment to you and all stakeholders within OPSN. I believe that transparency and inclusivity are paramount in our efforts to foster a dynamic and collaborative private sector. I will strive to ensure that everyone’s voice is not only heard but actively considered in our discussions and decision-making processes,” he said.
Oye said he recognized the importance of balanced nominations and appointments in all OPSN boards and agency representations and promised to foster an environment where diversity is celebrated, and all members feel equally represented.
“We will work collectively to address the pressing issues facing our private sector while leveraging the unique strengths and perspectives of our diverse membership,” Oye said.
“In pursuit of this vision, I intend to facilitate open discussions and debates on relevant matters within our platform, ensuring that we cultivate a culture of engagement and collective deliberation before making any official decisions or statements on behalf of OPSN.
“I believe this approach will not only enhance our decision-making processes but also reinforce the integrity of the OPSN as a united front for private sector advocacy. Starting with this, I suggest we agree on a convenient date next week to do a zoom meeting to articulate our activities in the next two years,” he said.
He thanked the OPSN members for their support and guidance, stressing his eagerness to work with all members of OPSN “towards achieving our shared goals for economic growth and sustainable development in Nigeria”.
