He said the Steering Committee on NPRGS would be headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, expected to provide overall guidance for implementation.

The council, he added, approved implementation of the strategy and its incorporation into the Medium Term National Development Plan 2021-2025 and the Agenda 2050.

FEC also directed the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to prepare a bill for submission to National Assembly, to make the implementation of the strategy sustainable.
