Shettima Urges Stronger MDA, PEBEC Collaboration to Boost Business Climate
Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), along with members of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), to strengthen their collaboration in order to create a more business-friendly environment across Nigeria.
Speaking on Wednesday at the closing session of the PEBEC Retreat for heads of MDAs and MDA Reform Champions held in Abuja, Vice President Shettima emphasized that the overarching goal is to ensure Nigeria remains a preferred destination for investors.
He stated: “This retreat was convened by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), an institution I am privileged to chair, not just to review reform progress, but to deepen something even more critical: synergy.
The business of government is too complex to be solved in silos. We cannot afford the luxury of working in isolation, while the problems we are tasked to solve are increasingly intertwined.”
Among the attendees was the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dayo Mobereola, who commended PEBEC for organizing the retreat. He noted that it provided a valuable platform for peer review and constructive engagement among Federal Government appointees, aimed at improving institutional performance and reform delivery.
