The PEBEC boss informed MDAs that based on the increased performance of MDAs over the last two weeks, vice president Kassim Shettima, the PEBEC chair, has granted a 30-day extension of the accelerator, which will culminate in a PEBEC Townhall meeting with all relevant MDAs to be hosted by the vice president.

As a result, she noted the need for more urgency by the MDAs to deliver outstanding reforms within the extension period, thus, further impacting productivity and competitiveness, and supporting the economic goals of this administration.

The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council mandate is a top priority of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in line with the 8-point Renewed Hope Agenda of this administration.
The 3rd cohort of the council was inaugurated on November 16, 2023, with members from all arms and levels of government.
