YOSINBAJO+1Concerned about the long period it takes to get projects and plans of government delivered, the Buhari administration is working to ensure a more effective and timely service delivery.
 
Speaking today at the Presidential Quarterly Business Forum, Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo said the administration is looking “very carefully at how to reduce the time it takes to provide quality service delivery particularly with respect to processing and getting procurement done in the public sector.”
 
Noting that the execution of plans and projects remains generally a major challenge in the country, the VP remarked that it is significantly a public sector problem which is the reason why the Federal Government is making proposals to cut the time it takes to get things done.
 
“After all of the plans, execution remains the major challenge, but we are trying to work very hard at ensuring that we’re able to execute and that’s one of the reasons we’re making the proposals. For some of them, we need to make specific changes, some of them can go by way of presidential directives and some are just attitudinal changes that have to be dealt with”, he explained.

He spoke today at the Presidential Villa during the inaugural Presidential Quarterly Business Forum with the Organised Private Sector (OPS), part of the Federal Government’s initiative at ensuring a robost engagement with the private sector.

Addressing representatives of private sector groups from Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), National Association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (NACCIMA) and other business leaders, Vice President Osinbajo noted that there are encumbrances working against speedy execution of national development plans and projects in the past.

Vice President Osinbajo remarks concluded the interactive session after presentations by the Minister of Budget & National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma; Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun; and Minister of State for Industry, Trade & Investment, Hajiya Aisha Abubakar as well as the representative of Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu. The ministerial presentations were followed by a Q &A session where the business leaders spoke.
 
The VP noted that the Federal Government is devising home grown strategies to steer the nation out of the current economic recession.
 
He explained that it is important to avoid the tendency to generalise as some commentators are doing regarding the causes of the recession, stressing that there is need to acknowledge the peculiarities of the country’s present challenges.

He reassured members of the Organised Private Sector that the Federal Government “will try and focus on the kind of problems that we have and what solutions can come from there”

 The Vice President informed members of the private sector of the readiness of the Federal Government to engage with them especially in respect of any game-changing investments such as the Dangote’s 650,000 b/d crude oil refinery being constructed in Lagos which he noted has the potential to a “make huge difference to everything we’re doing”.  

Prof. Osinbajo restated the commitment of the Federal Government to work closely with the private sector, adding “I want to assure you that we will continue to engage with you, first of all, through the quarterly meeting, then the sectoral meetings too”.

 While expressing the commitment of the Buhari administration to its engagements with the youths and militants in the Niger Delta, he said “I think we are all very committed to ensure that we deliver on many of the promises made by the Buhari administration; we are working through those challenges day by day”.
