FG TO STEP UP ACCOUNTABILITY AUDIT OF AGENCIES, SAYS OSINBAJO

Security

Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo says henceforth there will be a more aggressive accountability audit of Federal Government agencies.

He said the audit would help in identifying bureaucratic bottlenecks and removing them in a renewed effort to further improve the country’s business environment and economy.

Osinbajo’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, said the vice president made the disclosure at the 5th-anniversary celebration event of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC).

Reporters gathered that the celebration was held on Wednesday night at the State House Banquet Hall.

According to Osinbajo, such a move, will, in turn, encourage more local and foreign investments and create more jobs and opportunities for Nigerians.

He said that, in some of the agencies, the heads were committed to change; but down the line, the system either resisted or was simply not well designed to function properly.
