” We, at the Federal level,are working closely with the States through the National Economic Council (NEC) to strengthen the coordination required for enhanced implementation of the governance components of the ERGP, including monitoring the progress of States’ implementation of the 22-point Fiscal Sustainability Plan (FSP)” he said.

Acvording to the Minister, government has amongst other reforms, introduced a 4-year strategic plan for Civil Service Reform which is being coordinated by the Head of Service. This aims to drive innovation in service and institutionalise a performance management system that is citizen oriented.

Senator Udoma, explained that the ERGP has clearly dealt with good governance at all levels of government as a crucial aspect of the plan, stating that promoting transparency and accountability, and fighting corruption are among the the key objectives the ERGP captured essentially

He further stated that government’s faithful implementation of the Plan has led Nigeria out of recession, pointing out that projects that turned around the economy and also created direct jobs were given all the deserved attention and support.

To achieve this we will continue to invest in our people, government will continue to do more in it’s social investment programme. This is what the President is committed to do” , he said.
