The Forum of Former Deputy Governors of Nigeria, FFDCN, has made a case for the inclusion of all major stakeholders in Nigeria whenever any consultations for economic policy by the IMF and the World Bank are made in the country.
This was contained in a 16-point communiqué issued by the forum at the end of its third national conference with the theme 'Strategic Solutions for Good Governance, Food Security and Sustainable Growth in Nigeria,” which was held in Abuja, the country's capital, at the beginning of the week.
Furthermore, they also called for the amendment of the Public Procurement Act to pave the way for stiffer punishment against contract defaulters. While appraising the current challenges of the country, FFDGN commended the Federal Government on its efforts to combat the scourge of food insecurity, as well as for the ongoing efforts and achievements in the fight against insecurity.
