According to a statement by Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the visit will serve as an opportunity for the President to review his administration’s midterm performance and assess key milestones ahead of its second anniversary.
The working retreat will focus on evaluating the progress of ongoing reforms and formulating strategic plans to deepen and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year.
