Nigeria to host conference on regulatory best practices

By Olamide Martins

A national conference and workshop on “Regulating for Global Standards and Best Practices’’ will hold from Aug. 28 to 29 at the Public Service Institute of Nigeria, Kubwa, Abuja.

The event is organised by Allied Bond Consulting in collaboration with PIFS Conferences and Seminars.

Programme Coordinator, Sir T. Willie Tawo, announced this in a statement he signed and issued on Sunday in Abuja.

Tawo said the initiative was aimed at repositioning Nigeria’s regulatory bodies in line with global standards and the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

He said the programme would address challenges such as overlapping jurisdictions, regulatory conflicts, divergent enforcement strategies, and weaknesses in legal and institutional frameworks.

According to him, the objective is to develop actionable strategies to strengthen regulatory institutions for improved service delivery and governance outcomes.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume, will be the Special Guest of Honour and deliver the keynote address at the opening ceremony.

The workshop targets senior officials of regulatory bodies, particularly Heads and Directors responsible for Regulatory Affairs, Compliance, Legal Matters, Standards and Service Delivery (Servicom).

“This effort is part of a broader agenda to streamline regulatory oversight, reduce inefficiencies and position Nigeria’s regulatory landscape for sustainable national development,’’ the statement read.
