VP SHETTIMA: INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS WILL SOLVE 80% OF NIGERIA’S BUREAUCRATIC CHALLENGES

Vice President Kashim Shettima has emphasized the need for institutional reforms to address the majority of Nigeria’s public policy challenges. In a statement, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Communications, Stanley Nkwocha, quoted Shettima as saying that strengthening the nation’s institutional frameworks would address 80% of Nigeria’s public policy challenges.

Stanley Nkwocha further quoted Shettima as describing the new policy framework as a transformative approach that has been “long overdue” in Nigeria’s governance architecture. “If we get our institutional frameworks right, we will solve 80% of our public policy challenges,” Shettima said. Stanley Nkwocha also mentioned that Shettima called for a national reset in the way public policy is conceived, communicated, and implemented.

Shettima commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership, praising his unique blend of public and private sector experience and his readiness to implement bold reforms. “For the first time, we have a leader who understands the dynamics and speaks the language of economics,” Shettima said. Stanley Nkwocha also quoted Shettima as stressing the importance of policy clarity and communication, pointing out that reforms must be clearly understood by the public and consistently implemented across all tiers of government.

The Vice President also highlighted the role of e-governance and digitization, advocating for data-driven policy execution and real-time monitoring. “There must be targets and deliverables; if people fail to perform, they should be made to pay the price,” Shettima emphasized. Stanley Nkwocha mentioned that Shettima drew a lesson from former US President Barack Obama, emphasizing the need to build strong institutions over reliance on individual leaders.

Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination, Hajiya Hadiza Bala Usman, presented the draft National Public Policy Development and Management Framework. She explained that the framework was conceived due to the lack of a guiding document specifying the process for conceptualizing government policies. Hajiya Usman expressed confidence that the framework would address deep-rooted challenges of policy management and lack of coherence across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
