Speaking on Wednesday during the closing of the PEBEC Retreat for Heads of MDAs and MDA Reform Champions in Abuja, Senator

@KashimSM noted that the goal is to make sure Nigeria remains an attractive destination for investors.

He stated: “This retreat was convened by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (@PEBECgovng), an institution I am privileged to chair—not just to review reform progress, but to deepen something even more critical: synergy.

“The business of government is too complex to be solved in silos. We cannot afford the luxury of working in isolation while the problems we are tasked to solve are increasingly intertwined.

“What PEBEC has demonstrated since its inception is that collaborative governance works. It has brought together MDAs with overlapping mandates and divergent processes, and shown that when there is shared vision and collective will, we can simplify procedures, harmonise timelines, and build trust in our institutions.”
