Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), has pledged to fast track the process that would lead to the passage of the pending reform bills. A number of bills that would give legal backing to the reform of some critical sectors of the economy are still pending at the various stages in the National Assembly.
Anyim gave the pledge in Abuja when he received the management team of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), led by its director-general, Ms. Bolanle Onagoruwa. He noted that government’s good intention to divest from public enterprises would be a mirage if the necessary legal and regulatory instruments were not put in place to provide comfort to stakeholders and investors.
The SGF assured Nigerians that the present administration is keen on the successful privatization of enterprises in the country. This determination, according to him, informed his decision soon after assumption of office to demand to know the bills that were pending for passage to aid privatization.
Anyim noted that the passage of the bills would lead to the setting up of regulatory bodies to regulate activities in the various sectors of the economy. He emphasized that it is very imperative for the bills to passed into law, pointing out that privatization cannot succeed without relevant regulatory bodies.
The SGF promised to assist the privatization agency to succeed in its mandate.
