Jonathan ready to transform Nigeria’s economy -Ayim

The Secretary to the Government of Nigeria, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has reiterated the intention of the Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, to transform the nation’s economy just as he urged Nigerians to support the transformation efforts of the Government.

Senator Anyim disclosed this in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, on Tuesday when he received officials and participants of the Senior Executive Course 33 of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), in Kuru, Plateau State, Northern Nigeria.

Commitment

The Secretary to the Government of Nigeria said there was hope for a better Nigeria in the future going by the efforts of the present administration to turn around the nation’s economy.

He added that the government was evolving creative and strategic ways of tackling the challenges confronting the nation.

He particularly enjoined the  participants of Course 33  to, upon their return to their various offices, come up with new policies that would help the government in tackling terrorism, corruption, unemployment and infrastructure issues.

NIPSS

NIPSS was founded in 1979 as a policy formation centre for bureaucrats, private sector leaders, army officers, and medium ranking and senior civil servants in Nigeria.

Anyim said with the level of training received by the participants from NIPSS, they would be better equipped to think creatively and engender the desired change in the country.

He however, described the institute as the best management training institute in Africa

Earlier, the Acting Director-General of the institute, Professor Tijani Mohammad-Bande, said that funding had remained the major challenge of the institute and appealed to the Nigerian government for improved financial allocation to the institute in order to effectively deliver on its mandate of training high-level manpower.
