How to Foster Efficiency, Accountability in Governance – Minister

The Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Zephaniah Jisalo, has advocated for efficiency and accountability in governance.

He made the call at a retreat for the management staff of his ministry in Abuja.

The retreat, with the theme, “Enhancing Excellence in Integrated Performance and Delivery System Retreat,” aims to enhance performance management, inter-governmental coordination, and service delivery.

Jisalo noted that the retreat offers a unique opportunity for introspection, reassessment, and strategic planning to enhance the ministry’s performance and service delivery.

“This gathering marks a significant milestone in our commitment to excellence in service delivery, with far-reaching consequences for the ministry and the nation. I am optimistic that, together, we will emerge from this retreat with a clear plan to achieve our objectives.

“Let us reaffirm our dedication to building a more efficient, accountable, and effective system of governance, working tirelessly to ensure that our efforts yield tangible improvements in the lives of our citizens.”

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Ibiene Patricia Roberts, said: “The ministry’s mandate encompasses various deliverables, including special projects, constituency projects, zonal intervention projects, monitoring of releases to traditional rulers and local governments, licensing lottery operators, national awards, and good cause intervention projects.

“The retreat is a call to action, and we must leverage this opportunity to deepen our understanding, exchange ideas, and develop actionable strategies that will drive our performance and delivery system to new heights.”
