Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says the collaboration of the Federal and state government is crucial to achieving development plans of the country.
He stated this on Tuesday at the retreat of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation with Secretaries to the State Governments held in Abuja.
He noted that the business of governing needs innovations to tackle complex challenges, adding that the two tiers of government were in a better situation to resolve them through partnership.
“But despite the important initiatives and decisions of NEC, we will achieve little if we do not have relevant state government agencies actively working with the federal government to implement them.
“So, the role of the SGFs is clearly central to cascading the action points and conclusions to the relevant MDAs in their states.
“And this is so, whether we are implementing the federal government’s fertilizer policy or the anchor borrowers scheme in the states.
