…urges members to align with Tinubu’s 8-point Renewed Hope Agenda
Vice President @KashimSM on Thursday inaugurated the 3rd Cohort of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), calling its members to be 100% committed to promoting a conducive business environment.
This, according to him, would directly reflect the strong political will behind the transformative initiatives of President @officialABAT-led government.
Speaking during the inaugural meeting of the PEBEC at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Sen. @KashimSM also implored members of the Council to align themselves effortlessly with the 8-point Renewed Hope agenda of the @officialABAT administration.
He said, “Aligning seamlessly with the vision of His Excellency, President @officialABAT GCFR, and the 8-point Renewed Hope agenda of this administration, our commitment to fostering a conducive business environment is a direct reflection of the strong political will driving the transformative initiatives of this government.
“Today, we stand on a robust foundation, and we recognize that achieving PEBEC’s mandate directly contributes to the success of our shared economic prosperity as a nation.
“Undoubtedly, reforms are formidable undertakings, particularly in our region. However, history has proven that they are achievable, and we draw inspiration from past successes. As a council, our dedication to these reforms must be unwavering, and each member must take ownership of this mission with 100% commitment.
“The PEBEC is an enabler for the MDAs in government. Our role, therefore, calls for a unified and collaborative effort across the council and MDAs. Reforms require a collective commitment, and success will be a shared triumph, resonating not only within our council but throughout the nation,” the Vice President stated.
Earlier, the Special Adviser to the President on PEBEC and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, noted that PEBEC’s mandate is to deliver Nigeria’s business environment reform, with the dual mandate to remove bureaucratic and legislative constraints to doing business and improve the perception about the ease of doing business in Nigeria.
“PEBEC’s model aligns with global best practices and includes a strong performance tracking element that ensures MDAs are accountable for reform implementation,” she said.
Dr Oduwole said that one of the key considerations for PEBEC Cohort under the chairmanship of Vice President Kashim Shettima is the political will from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and his irrevocable commitment to Ease of Doing Business in line with the 8-point agenda of the administration and added that the Vice President has decided to adopt the PEBEC model and build on the past work.
