 President Muammar al-Buhari on Tuesday in Abuja pledged that Nigeria would continue to support the African peer review mechanism, APRM process in the country, because of its benefits to good governance and democracy. Buhari gave the assurance at the launch of the Nigeria's second review country self-assessment report and flag of the validation of the report at the six geopolitical zones of the country, including the federal capital territory. Describing the review as timely and handy, President Buhari explained that the present administration, with its change mantra agenda as overhauled, revitalized and institutionalized its machinery for a successful conduct of the second peer review of the country. The president recalled that Nigeria was first peer reviewed in 2008 and since then has recorded tremendous success in the implementation of the national program of action as recommended. It is a self-monitoring tool to enshrine good governance in our political system, promote political leadership and encourage democracy through tracking and monitoring the implementation of sustainable development goals and agenda 2063 of the African Union in the continent. Several activities were carried out including country support mission, board sensitization, consultation and training session on sharing experiences for the conduct of the second peer review, signing of the MOU, visit of the review validation team and various sectorial consultations among others. Your Excellency, we are happy to report that Nigeria hosted the first country review mission in 2008 and subsequent peer review in 2009 and further submitted two progress reports on the implementation of national program of action. It was on this basis that Nigeria requested for the second review mission to assess the country during this year 2021. As we are aware, the review is timely and handy as the present administration and its change mantra agenda has overhauled, revitalized and institutionalized its machinery for a successful conduct of the second peer review of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Agenda 2063 is a strategic framework for the social economic transformation of the African continent over the next 50 years with a strong mandate on the part of an African peer review mechanism. This is an attempt to build on and seek the acceleration of the implementation of fast and present continental initiatives for the growth and sustainable development of the African continent.
