Akume underscored the need for collaboration “Your roles also require close collaboration with your colleague Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, Heads of Agencies and other Stakeholders. Effective inter-ministerial cooperation will be crucial in addressing the multifaceted challenges we face, from economic recovery to social cohesion and sustainable development”, he said.
He called on the new ministers to imbibe the tenets of transparency, accountability and excellence in the discharge of their statutory mandates as custodians of public trust, adding that his office will provide them with the needed support for the formulation, implementation and tracking of government policies, programmes and projects.
The immediate past Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha, urged the ministers to work in synergy with the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation in the formulation and implementation of policies and programmes in line with the eight priority areas of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Esther Walson-Jack, enjoined the new Ministers to work in collaboration with the Permanent Secretaries in the actualisation of their respective mandates.
Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination and Head of the Central Delivery Coordinating Unit, Hadiza Bala Usman said the retreat will avail the new ministers the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the key Presidential Priority Areas and how to relate with other stakeholders in their various Ministries in “Delivering on the Renewed Hope Agenda” which is the theme of the induction retreat.
