President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of four distinguished individuals to serve the National council on Privatization. This development which was disclosed by Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Tinubu, in a statement released on Thursday, is aimed at enhancing private sector representation in the National Council on Privatization.
The newly appointed members, who will represent the private sector in the council, are:
1. Oluwole Osin (South-West)
2. Mohammed Mustapha Bintube (North-East)
3. Olayiwola Yahaya (North-Central)
4. Akwa Effion Okon (South-South)
These individuals bring a wealth of private sector experience to the National Council on Privatization, contributing diverse perspectives and expertise to the strategic decision-making processes of the council.
President Tinubu charged the newly appointed members with the responsibility to leverage their private sector background in ensuring that Nigerians receive the maximum value and impact from investments made on their behalf. The emphasis on private sector engagement aligns with the government’s commitment to fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors for the overall economic development of the nation.
The National Council on Privatization plays a crucial role in guiding the privatization policies and strategies of the government, with a focus on optimizing efficiency and promoting sustainable economic growth. The inclusion of these four accomplished individuals underscores the administration’s dedication to tapping into the rich reservoir of private sector knowledge for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
As the newly appointed members assume their roles, expectations are high for their contributions to the council’s efforts in driving economic reforms, creating an enabling business environment, and fostering public-private partnerships that align with the national interest.
