President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered his Ministers and Permanent Secretaries to intensify their efforts and work in cooperation toward delivery of his administration’s set target to improve livelihood of all citizens.
Buhari, who gave the directive at the end of the two-day Mid-term Ministerial Performance Review Retreat, also instructed the ministers to ‘‘ramp up implementation’’ of their mandates along the nine priority areas of the administration. He also emphasised the need for cooperation between the fiscal and monetary authorities to keep the economy on the course of growth.
The President however noted that intensive discussions at the retreat provided an opportunity to reflect on what this administration had done and areas needed to improve on and refocus attention.
Buhari also directed the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to immediately begin the process of convening quarterly coordination meetings for each priority area based on the collaborative results framework.
According to him, the objective of the meetings is to ascertain status of implementation across the nine priority areas, identify bottlenecks, and proffer immediate solutions.
