Olawale-Cole stated that the chamber would continually voiced its concerns regarding the difficult decisions Nigeria must make to set the economy on the path of sustained high and meaningful growth

Former Minister of Industry and also past president of LCCI, Dr Onikepo Akande, noted that the chamber had grown to be a leading light in the chamber movement in Africa.

Former director-general, LCCI, Amb. Adekunle Olumide stated that the chamber must also review ways to further enhance its strength to move forward.

He noted that key elements of the chamber’s strength include its influential membership across sectors, financial autonomy, unique governance system and professional secretariat to drive its administration, saying, “there’s however need for the services provided to be enhanced. So, more companies are encouraged to join the chamber, while our financial autonomy must be fully maintained with plans to diversify our financial sources.”
