The Director General of the organisation, Alhaji Adamu Salihu, who made this known while fielding questions from journalists, said: &#8220;Some businesses now run one shift instead of three shifts, meaning that they have laid off some of their workers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;Lack of patronage by all tiers of government is worsening the business environment. Governments prefer to deal with companies from other places, which is why most of these companies are downsizing.
