PA BUHARI SAYS OUR GOAL IS TO INSTITUTIONALIZE ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY IN OUR SERVICE DELIVERY

Yesterday, at the end of our 3rd Ministerial Review and Performance Retreat, I signed Presidential Executive Order 12, on Improving Performance Management, Coordination & Implementation of Presidential Priorities of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Our goal is to institutionalize a culture of accountability & transparency in our service delivery.

And then, today, I signed into Law the Nigeria Startup Bill (NSB), developed by our administration to provide stable legal framework and incentives for technology innovation. Indeed, our commitment to creating an enabling environment for Nigerian technology startups should never be in doubt.

In addition to the Nigeria Startup Bill (NSB), now an Act, our Administration has established/launched the following:

- A National Digital Economy Policy & Strategy

- A National Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

- A National Data Protection Bureau

We have also launched a National 5G Policy (with commencement of rollout); capped Highway Right of Way (RoW) fees for laying of fibre-optic cables at N145 per linear meter, to attract private investment; and extended ‘Pioneer Status’ to e-Commerce and software companies.
