Vice President Kashim Shettima has charged members of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) to ensure their economic decisions and reforms are reflected in the lives of Nigerians from all parts of the country.
He urged them to defy the way things were done in the past in order to pave way for economic growth that is in harmony with the aspirations of the citizens.
The Vice President gave the charge on Monday during the induction programme for members of the NCP and other critical stakeholders at the conference centre of the NIA headquarters in Abuja.
Speaking at the induction programme for Council members, Shettima stressed the need for the council to work towards charting a pathway for a nation in tune with the dynamics of the charging world.
Delivering his address titled, “Let’s Create a Difference Together,” the Vice President told the NCP members that they cannot afford to write the chapter of the nation’s history unfavourably in the voyage of discovery they were embarking on, adding that a lot depend on the solutions they proffer in the pursuit of their mandate to make Nigeria a vineyard of economic opportunities.
The Vice President who is also Chairman of the NCP reminded members of the Council that the task before them demands “going to every horizon of the hotbed of opportunities to initiate transformative reform and to collaborate,” even as he implored them to embed the reforms they were set to make in President Tinubu’s 8-point renewed hope agenda.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, underscored the significance of the Federal Government’s privatisation programme and highlighted its impact on the management of enterprises owned by the government since the inception of the programme.
