Ag. President Osinbajo Signs 3 Executive Orders

Nigeria’s Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday signed three executive orders which are expected to change the ways government business and operations are conducted in a significant manner.

Specifically, the three executive orders give specific instructions on a number of policy issues affecting:

*the promotion of transparency and efficiency in the business environment designed to facilitate the ease of doing business in the country,

*timely submission of annual budgetary estimates by all statutory and non-statutory agencies, including companies owned by the Federal Government and

*support for local contents in public procurement by the Federal Government.

Before he signed the order, he held an interactive session with all relevant government officials, including ministers, permanent secretaries and heads of departments and agencies at the old Banquet Hall of Presidential Villa in Abuja.
