Stakeholders in public and private sectors have called for policies that will enhance economic growth, address education lapses, out of school children, public private sector partnership and infrastructure, to ensure good governance.
They spoke at the closing of a five-day workshop to finalise the National Programme of Action (NPoA) document in Abuja.
Chief Executive Officer of Africa Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) Nigeria Princess Gloria Akobundu said some of the recommendations were geared toward addressing security challenges and unemployment.
Noting that the stakeholders have committed to the ownership and implementation of the second NPoA to enhance economic growth and development, she said a collaboration was needed to implement the action.
Akobundu, who noted that the workshop dealt with challenges identified in line with the National Development Plan (NDP), said participants looked at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 and AU-Agenda 2063 for smooth implementation of NPoA.
She said the implementation of NPoA would take place across all states.
‘’We designed a framework that will be used to implement NPoA, addressing the challenges and consolidating on the gains,’’ she said.
Akobundu, however, hoped that President Muhammadu Buhari would launch the NPoA document between July and August.
Chief Executive Officer of African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) Continental Secretariat, Prof. Eddy Maloka, said collaboration was needed in the implementation process.
Maloka, represented by Acting Director of Monitoring and Evaluation at APRM Secretariat Jean Adou said the country had shown commitment in producing the document.
