The Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday inaugurated a committee to fine-tune two proposed bills on the reform of the nation’s postal services and re-energising the market-place for healthy competition.
Briefing newsmen on the outcome of the weekly FEC meeting in Abuja, the Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, said the proposed bills were part of efforts to further open up the nation’s economy for private sector investment.
‘‘We are undertaking these reforms to ensure that we modernise the Nigerian economy.
‘‘The economy will not be driven just by government intervention. It is only driven essentially by policy reforms.
”And what we have been doing under the transformation programme is to really undertake reforms that will modernise the economy and unleash the full potential of the energies of the Nigerian people in the market place.
‘‘These are the issues that have been engaging the attention of the Federal Executive Council in the past weeks.
‘‘So, today these two bills were tabled before us and we also forwarded these bills to a smaller committee to be chaired by the Vice President,’’
Maku said that the bills, when endorsed by the Federal Executive Council (FEC), would be forwarded to the National Assembly for necessary action.
According to him, the bills, when passed into law, are expected to help in job creation, ensure efficiency and better service delivery in line with Federal Government’s transformation agenda.
The minister told newsmen that the Nigerian Postal Commission Bill was aimed at establishing a regulator for the nation’s postal industry. (0)
