Day Two of the Sectoral Retreat hosted by the Ministry of Regional Development was marked by deep strategic engagement, critical reflection, and a revitalized sense of direction. Centered on the theme, “Streamlining Governance and Collaboration: Clarifying Roles and Coordinating Development Efforts,” discussions advanced into actionable deliberations focused on institutional reforms and fostering stronger synergy among the seven regional development commissions.
The day opened with a recap, before diving into a high-level presentation by Prof. Tunji Olaopa, Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission, who outlined reform strategies critical for game-changing regional development.
A robust Q&A session followed, setting the tone for dynamic group breakouts. These sessions focused on:
Administrative reviews and adaptation,
Joint planning models (citing NDDC & NEDC),
Effective coordination mechanisms.
Facilitators like Mrs. Modupe Kolawole, Dr. Patrick Chukwu, and Barr. Liborous Oshoma guided discussions that challenged participants to rethink collaboration frameworks.
Later, Prof. Muhammed Tawfiq Ladan delivered a powerful presentation on governance optimization and performance monitoring—calling for robust KPI-driven evaluations and tighter supervisory frameworks.
Participants also tackled procurement practices, transparency in governance, and peer review systems in expert-led group sessions facilitated by Dr. Adebowale Adedokun (DG BPP), Alh. Tijjani Musa, and representatives from EFCC/ICPC.
Capping the day was a forward-looking session led by Mr. Kyari Bukar, who shared strategic insights on priority programs and interventions to guide the Ministry’s path forward.
Throughout the day, the Honourable Minister of Regional Development, Engr. Abubakar Momoh FNSE, provided oversight and leadership, supported by the Honourable Minister of State, Uba Maigari Ahmadu, and the Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Atinuke Watti, who all played pivotal roles in anchoring the sessions.
Importantly, the Managing Directors of the various Regional Development Commissions—including the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), the North East Development Commission (NEDC), the South East Development Commission, and others—were fully represented. They not only participated actively in discussions but also made detailed presentations on their operational challenges, best practices, and collaborative frameworks, reinforcing the ministry’s drive for synergy across regions.
This retreat is a significant step in ensuring that the Ministry of Regional Development’s agenda is aligned with the national development goals and that key regional commissions play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Nigeria.
