Gov. Chukwuma Soludo on Wednesday inaugurated the newly constituted Local Government Service Commission in Anambra.

Soludo, who performed the ceremony at the Governor’s Lodge, charged members of the Commission to reposition the sector.

“We want to go back to the Local Government system because it has not been anywhere near where its supposed to be,” he said.

Soludo said he envisaged a local government that would deliver effective service to the people in terms of structure and being the representative in the grassroots.

He said development of the State would not be driven by the state government alone, but also by active participation of the local government system such that markets and other institutions had roles to play.

The governor said that he was pleased to inaugurate the team, as members were carefully selected based on experience and knowledge.

“The JAAC committee has a limited technical job which is simply to manage joint domiciled accounts. That’s their important and technical responsibility.

“In matters of appointment, promotion and transfer; the entire system of the Local Government needs to work, and that lies with you.

“We are determined to invigorate and delegate responsibilities to the local governments so that they can be more responsible from waste management and a host of others.

“Congratulations and commiserations, to manage in difficult times when resources are lean because of the weight of the job that awaits you,” he said.

The committee is chaired by Chief Ifeanyi Ezeaka, with Mr Azubuike Okoye, Mr Edwin Okafor, Prof. Ngozi Ewuim, Mrs Anthonia.

ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, MUHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, AT THE 3RD YEAR MINISTERIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW RETREAT HELD
AT THE STATE HOUSE CONFERENCE CENTRE,
ABUJA ON 17TH OCTOBER, 2022

It gives me great pleasure to welcome everyone to the 3rd Year and my last Ministerial Performance Review Retreat organised to evaluate the level of progress made in the implementation of the Nine Priority Agenda of this Administration.

I am particularly delighted to welcome His Excellency, Uhuru Kenyatta, the immediate past President of the Republic of Kenya and members of his delegation, and specially thank him for honouring our invitation to be the Keynote Speaker at this Retreat. We look forward to hearing about your experience especially around the last months prior to the handover to your successor.

This Retreat is organised at a time when we have commenced political activities and campaigns for the forthcoming general elections in the 1st Quarter of 2023. It therefore, provides an opportunity for us as a Government to reflect on the progress made so far, review the status of implementation of the Policies, Programmes and Projects of Government in line with the collective aspirations of our people as well as identify areas that need urgent intervention.

An exercise like this, will ensure that we maintain the right trajectory before the end of May, 2023, in order to achieve the promises we made to the Nigerian people, at the inception of this Administration.

I am glad to note that, over the past three years, Ministries have continued to navigate the challenging times to ensure the implementation of Policies, Programmes and Projects in the Ministerial Mandates signed by Ministers and Permanent Secretaries in 2019.

The implementation of the laudable policy thrust of this Administration is periodically tracked, reviewed and analysed by the Central Delivery Coordination Unit through quarterly performance reports of the 29 Ministries includin
