The Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment took a bold step towards the implementation of the strategy by signing a memorandum of understanding for implementation at the end of the two-day high-level meeting.
The retreat chaired by the Minister, Jumoke Oduwole focused on the launch of the Ministry’s Roadmap 2025 and reinforcing the Ministry’s commitment to good governance.
A major highlight of the event was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between FMITI and the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation.
This collaboration intends to promote digitisation, performance management systems, and capacity throughout the ministry.
Minister Oduwole referred to the collaboration as a great milestone.
“This is a pivotal moment for FMITI,” she stated.
“When I first received a congratulatory letter from the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, it came with an offer to help. Having followed their work for years, I knew this was an opportunity we could not afford to miss.
“With a 2025 deadline rapidly approaching, this partnership will be crucial in accelerating our progress as the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment embarks on its digital transformation,” she stated.
Noting the outstanding presentations from several departments and agencies, the minister also praised the ministry’s leadership team for supporting the Presidential Eight-Point Agenda.
With the Performance bond now in place, senior IMF officials, including Managing Directors, Directors and Heads of Trade Missions, reaffirmed their responsibility and commitment to delivering measurable results.
The Department remains focused on tapping Nigeria’s vast industrial and trade potential, making the country a key player in the global economy.
