 By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

 
The FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, on Monday, charged the   participants of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) Senior Executive Course 44, on
proffering solutions that would strengthen governance at the Local Government level.

 Bello made this request during a courtesy visit by a delegation of the course participants led by Prof. Sunday Ochoche at the banquet hall of the Life Camp Residence of the Minister.

 
The minister who referred to the theme of the 2022 Senior Executive Course which is “Strengthening Local Governance in Nigeria: Challenges, Opinions and Opportunities”, noted that Local Governments, or Area Councils, as they are called in the FCT, as grassroots government which have very strategic roles to play in delivering dividends of democracy such as basic education, agriculture, primary health care and security to the grassroots populace. 

He said that governance at the local level was fraught with many challenges, but expressed optimism that that the Course 44 would proffer solutions that would strengthen governance at the grassroots level.

 
 The Minister also revealed that some of the most effective and efficient senior officials of the Federal Capital Administration  were graduates of the Senior Executive Course and pledged the support and cooperation of the FCTA to the participants during their study tour of the FCT.

 
Leader of the delegates Prof. Sunday Ochoche, thanked the FCT Minister for sponsoring participants from the FCTA to the Institute.

 He explained that every year, very senior and accomplished men and women from different sectors dedicate 10 months, interrogating critical national issues and proffering ways to advance the Nigerian project.

 He said that effective local governance involved the Federal, State and Local Governments, traditional institutions, as well as Non-Governmental Organizations.
