IN furtherance of the Buhari administration’s ease of doing business reforms, the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, PEBEC, which is chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, will, on Tuesday, September 26, consider new and specific initiatives to be implemented over a 60-day period in the National Action Plan 2.0.
It will be recalled that a previous 60-day National Action Plan on Ease of Doing Business was approved on February 21, 2017. The National Action Plan contained initiatives and actions implemented by responsible ministries, departments and agencies, MDAs, the National Assembly, the governments of Lagos and Kano states, as well as some private sector stakeholders.
The expanded PEBEC meeting will be attended by Bukola Saraki, the Senate president, Yakubu Dogara, the speaker of the House of Representatives, and Justice Walter Onnoghen, the chief justice of the Federation.
Also expected at the meeting are Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State and Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State as well as the acting director-general of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control, who was invited to the session, based on stakeholder feedback.
The PEBEC, which was inaugurated in 2016 by President Muhammadu Buhari, comprises 10 ministers, with Okey Enelamah, the minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, as vice chair, along with the head of Service, the Central Bank governor, representatives of the National Assembly, Lagos and Kano states, and the private sector.
Recently, the Enabling Business Environment Secretariat, EBES, of the PEBEC released the 2016/2017 Reform Update document at the 5th Presidential Quarterly Business Forum held in Abuja on September 11, where the role of regulators as business facilitators was further discussed. This event was chaired by Osinbajo, and attended by ministers and heads of agencies, as well as leading companies in the private sector.
