Nigeria, German Government hold Bilateral Cooperation on Policy Implementation

Minister of State, Budget and National Planning, Prince Clem Ikanade Agba, has commended the German government for its commitment and undying interest in the affairs of Nigeria since the Country’s independence in 1960. 

He noted that the long-standing cooperation existing between the governments was based on mutual trust, respect and understanding.

Agba gave these commendations at the recently-concluded Nigeria- German Bilateral government consultations and sectoral dialogue held, in Abuja. 

Recalling a similar meeting held in 2017, which culminated in the signing of some agreed resolutions between the countries, he stated that he had been briefed on the progress made on the implementation of the programmes and projects as contained in the resolutions.

He noted that the consultation, which was aimed at discussing the new German Reform Strategy was an overhaul of the German development policy with its partner countries. 

He explained that the overhauling was to ensure that development measures and funding were targeted at tackling challenges that were peculiar to partner countries. 

The Minister said that the reform strategy concentrated on specific areas such as: climate, health and family policy, sustainable supply chains, harnessing digital technology, technology transfer and strengthening private investment with a view to overcoming hunger and poverty. 

He pointed out that the reform strategies were in line with the economic sustainability and inclusive growth espoused by the Government of Nigeria in the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP 2017-2020).

The Minister noted that the Reform strategy would not have come at a better time than now, as deliberations would take into cognizance the priority areas, complementing the efforts in tackling the development challenges.

 In addition to those priority areas, Agba said it was expected that attention would be focused on Power sector in view of the current challenges being experienced.  

He urged everyone to make the necessary efforts to ensure that opportunities offered in the Reform Strategy and other similar initiatives were not misplaced.

In her remarks, the country Manager Nigeria, who represented the German government, Claudia Wolk, underlined the objective of the bilateral development co-operation, which was to reform processes and reposition German development co-operation in order to improve the capacity to tackle new challenges and demands in international co-operation.
