APC Chairman Yilwatda Calls for CEOs' Support for $1T Economy

Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), called on chief executives of federal government agencies and parastatals to actively contribute to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of establishing a $1 trillion Nigerian economy. This appeal was made during a meeting in Abuja with members of the Forum of Chief Executives of Federal Parastatals at the APC National Secretariat.

Yilwatda highlighted that many of these CEOs are political appointees who hold a dual responsibility: to leverage their expertise for national development and to support the administration that appointed them. He stressed that their appointments should be viewed as a privilege that demands effective service and commitment.

Yilwatda urged the agency heads to align their mandates and budgets with economic growth and national development goals. He also pointed out the importance of effectively communicating government achievements to the public, as many significant interventions are not well understood by Nigerians.

Furthermore, he mentioned ongoing infrastructure investments under the Tinubu administration aimed at enhancing Nigeria's economic position.
