The Minister, who was represented at the event by the Permanent Secretary, Special Duties, Federal Ministry of Finance, Mr Okokon Ekanem Udo, observed that “Judging from the retreat, it is indeed very evident that the treasury is demonstrating full knowledge of the dire needs of the nation. It captures its mood, given the dwindling revenue profiles of the country and the attendant challenges on the cash flow.

“These challenges call for prudent management of what is available through the Public Financial Management Reforms as being developed and coordinated by the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation.

“Therefore, we must all devise better, more effective, and robust administrative mechanisms that will reduce, if not eliminate waste and corrupt tendencies by using effective reforms.”

He commended the Accountant-General of the Federation, Oluwatoyin Madein’s efforts in implementing reforms and strategies that will ensure efficient management of the nation’s financial resources.
