“While doing that, there is need to strike a balance and an effective equilibrium on getting investors and giving incentives, because it is only the constant growth of the economy that determine the strength of any country.

 

“There is also the need to think outside the box in order to be self-sufficient by generating revenue to support the federal government’s decision which says the Authority must fund its staff salaries.

 

“Therefore, there is need to look for more areas to generate IGR. The opening of more free zones will be vital to achieving this purpose.”
