The Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment (FMITI) has signed a performance bond, marking the beginning of a purposeful programme execution.
The move followed a two-day high-level retreat led by the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole.
Director, Press and Public Relations in the Ministry, Dr. Adebayo Thomas disclosed this in a statement signed on Tuesday.
The retreat focused on presenting the FMITI’s 2025 Roadmap, which sets the stage for a new era of strategic execution.
A key highlight was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between FMITI and the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, aimed at driving digitization, performance management systems, and capacity building across the Ministry.
Reflecting on the collaboration with the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, Minister Oduwole expressed her enthusiasm for the journey ahead.
“This is a pivotal moment for FMITI,” she said.
“When I first received a congratulatory letter from the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, it came with an offer to help.
“Having followed their work for years, I knew this was an opportunity we could not afford to miss.
“The Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment is just beginning its digital transformation, and with a 2025 deadline fast approaching, this partnership will be instrumental in accelerating our progress.”
Minister commended the Ministry’s leadership team for their commitment to aligning with the Presidential Eight-Point Agenda and highlighted the impressive presentations from various departments and agencies.
With the performance bond in place, FMITI’s leadership, including CEOs, Directors, and Heads of Trade Missions, had reinforced its accountability and commitment to delivering tangible results.
The Ministry is poised to unlock Nigeria’s vast industrial and trade potential, positioning the country as a global economic powerhouse.
