President Bola Tinubu is expected to unveil policies and give next directions including timelines to ministers and top political appointees at a retreat starting tomorrow. 

The office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) has concluded plans for the retreat for the top political appointees and it will last from Wednesday to Friday, it was learnt.

BusinessDay gathered that the retreat for the top political appointees is the first since President Bola Tinubu inaugurated his Ministers where inaugurated on the 28 of August.

The retreat is part of the traditional ways of strengthening the machinery of governance, especially designed for newly appointed Ministers and top public servants.

It serves as a means of educating them about how government activities are implemented, the dos and don’t as well as public service rules.

The President and his Ministers also use the opportunity to unveil government policy directions, programs and vision for implemention.

President Bola Tinubu is also expected to use the event to set the necessary agenda and time frame for executing them, as well as assign responsibilities in line with the policy directions of the administration.

The retreat means that government activities will be slowed down for the three day period, as Minister, Heads of Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) will leave their offices for those three days.

At the end of the retreat, the President will unveil his plans for the administration.

BusinessDay gathered that the retreat was shelved until now, because of the pending court cases from the Presidential election.

The Supreme Court had rested all the cases on Monday, 26 of October, following the unanimous ruling that confirmed President Bola Tinubu as the duly elected President from the 2023 general election.
