Director of Publication, Kwara State House of Assembly (KWHA), Basirat Saka has urged Nigerian leaders to bridge the gap between policy formulation and implementation.

She stated that the country does not lack ideas but struggles with execution.

Saka made the call in Abuja during her induction as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Information and Strategy Management (CIISM).

She said formulation without implementation is hallucination, adding that truth defines the information and strategy management profession.

She said Nigeria had formulated numerous policies but had struggled to translate them into tangible outcomes.

“As a new fellow of this Institute, my goal is to close the execution gap. I believe that information without action is noise, as strategy without execution is fantasy,” she said.

Saka urged leaders to shift from presentations and committees to measurable results, stressing the need for clear responsibilities, timelines, costs and performance indicators.

“Let us build the discipline of Who does What, By When, and at What Cost? Let us embrace data, accountability, and consequences,” she added.

She expressed gratitude for the fellowship, saying it came with a profound sense of responsibility.
