The Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has charged members of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) to ensure their economic decisions and reforms will reflect in the lives of Nigerians from all parts of the country.
 
The Vice President gave the charge, yesterday, during the induction programme for members of the NCP and other critical stakeholders at the conference centre of the NIA headquarters, Abuja.
 
Last Friday, Shettima had, while inaugurating the newly constituted NCP at the Presidential Villa, told members to station themselves on the frontline of actualising the renewed hope agenda of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.
 
Speaking at the induction programme for Council members, three days after, he said: “This retreat is for each of us to, once again, pledge our allegiance not only to our roles but to the aspirations of every Nigerian. Our decisions here must transcend the boardrooms; they must resonate in the lives of our fellow citizens, from Abia State, down through Lagos State, to Zamfara State. We must stand together to pave the way for a nation in tune with the dynamics of the changing world.”

Earlier in his remarks, 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.
