Iletogun stated, “The Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment is poised to evolve strategies towards the implementation of the objectives of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan recently launched by the Federal Government.
“The focus of the retreat is how to implement the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan through industry, trade and investment, and it will provide opportunities for the ministry to fine-tune its Strategic Plan 2017-2020, strengthen inter-agency collaboration, and support and to strengthen mutual relationship with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation for radical industrial development of Nigeria.”
