Ngelale said the PECC will also comprise key members of the organised private sector, with the following members joining for a period not exceeding one (1) year, subject to the President’s directive.

Furthermore, Ngelale said in his determination to address immediate economic challenges and ensure the streamlined execution of economic strategies, President Tinubu has established the Economic Management Team Emergency Taskforce (EET).

He noted that the taskforce has a mandate to formulate and implement a consolidated emergency economic plan for the nation.

He said the taskforce comprises key government officials and industry leaders in furtherance of the President’s collaborative approach toward achieving economic resilience and growth.

He said the EET is now mandated to submit a comprehensive plan of economic interventions for 2024 to the PECC, covering the next six (6) months, for immediate implementation within two weeks of its inauguration.

The EET will meet twice weekly and is composed of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance (Chairman of the EET), Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Minister of Power, Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare and the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment as members.

The presidential spokesman said the Economic Management Team, established in October 2023, and chaired by the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, serves as the working group under the Presidential Economic Coordination Council (PECC), playing a crucial role in the economic governance structure established by the President.

He said the EMT traditionally meets monthly or as required, but will now suspend its meetings for the duration of the EET’s mandate (six months).

The EMT is composed of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance (EMT Chairman), Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Minister of Works, Minister of Labour and Employment, Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Minister of State, Petroleum Resources; Minister of State, Gas; Minister of Power, Minister of Transportation,.Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy.

“The Chairman of the EMT may, as needed, call on any Federal Minister or Head of Agency to brief the EMT on key programmes and developments affecting the economy.

“The President’s formation of the PECC, under his Chairmanship, alongside the creation of the EET, led by the Chairman of the EMT, and the EMT itself, is the manifestation of a unified strategy aimed at enhancing Nigeria’s economic management architecture for verifiably improved performance,” the statement added.

Ngelale said the formation of these teams will complement existing economic governance structures, including the National Economic Council (NEC), which is chaired by the Vice-President.

He added that over the next six months, the EET will focus on the rapid implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of critical initiatives, strengthening the Tinubu-led administration’s collective approach to advancing Nigeria’s economic objectives.
