The federal government through Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has concluded retreat for Heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) chair with the Vice President Kashim Shettima emphasizing the need for enhanced synergy among government agencies to foster a robust business environment in Nigeria.
Shettima stressed that decisions made during the retreat must reflect a commitment to collaboration, innovation, and interagency progress, translating into measurable improvements in government service delivery.
The Vice President emphasized that trust is the most valuable currency in governance, and without it, no reform will stand the test of time. He urged MDAs to prioritize joint planning, data sharing, and common Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) where their work intersects.
Streamlining processes, Shettima called for the simplification of processes, elimination of duplication, and leveraging technology to improve transparency and turnaround times. This, he said, would enable Nigerians to access government services without getting lost in red tape.
The Vice President encouraged MDAs to form interagency task teams for critical reforms, resolving conflicts through dialogue, closing gaps with innovation, and institutionalizing progress.
The Secretary to the Government and Vice President commended the PEBEC Director-General’s performance and commitment to service. The DG emphasized PEBEC’s readiness to work with heads of agencies to improve their service level delivery, aligning with the council’s goal of creating a more enabling business environment.
The PEBEC retreat is part of the Nigerian government’s efforts to improve the ease of doing business in the country.
