The Federal Government has said that it plans to spend N178.9bn in five years through the Federal Ministry of Special Duties and InterGovernmental Affairs (FMSDIGA)on the implementation of the eight priority areas of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This is contained in the executive summary of the 63-page FMSDIGA strategic plan 2024-2028 formally presented by the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Hon Zaphaniah Jisalo, on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said that the FMSDIGA is among the three Federal Ministries saddled with the responsibility to contribute to the implementation of President Tinubu’s developmental policies and National Development Plan (NDP) 2021-2025.
The minister also pledged strict monitoring of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs’) projects, including constituencies’ projects across the country.
Jisalo said: “On our own part as a ministry and as part of our mandates, is to monitor, do evaluation and also certify the payment. You know some of the projects are not in our ministry, they are in other ministries, we will collaborate with them to know what the national assemblies are doing.”
The Minister listed the key priority areas of the strategic plan to include; food security, ending poverty, economic growth/job creation, access to capital, inclusivity, security, fairness and rule of law and anti-corruption stance.
