Tinubu Unveils New Economic Management Structure In a strategic move aimed at fortifying Nigeria’s economic governance frameworks and fostering cohesive economic planning and execution, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has greenlit the establishment of the Presidential Economic Coordination Council (PECC) and the formation of the Economic Management Team Emergency Taskforce (EET).
The inclusion of prominent figures from the private sector in the economic team suggests a concerted effort to integrate diverse perspectives and foster innovation.

Additionally, notable private sector figures such as Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, and Abdulsamad Rabiu will contribute their expertise to the council for a period not exceeding one year.

This taskforce, composed of government officials and industry leaders, is tasked with formulating and executing an integrated emergency economic plan.
The EET is mandated to submit a comprehensive plan covering the next six months to the PECC for immediate implementation within two weeks of its inauguration.
The EET, chaired by the coordinating minister for the economy and minister of finance, consists of key government officials, governors, and industry experts, reflecting a collaborative approach towards achieving economic resilience and growth.
Notably, the Economic Management Team, chaired by the coordinating minister for the economy and minister of finance, will suspend its meetings during the EET’s mandate period, underscoring the priority placed on the taskforce’s initiatives.
Ngelale emphasized that the formation of the PECC, EET, and EMT represents a unified strategy to enhance Nigeria’s economic management architecture and complement existing governance structures.
Over the next six months, the EET will focus on the rapid implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of critical initiatives, aligning with the Tinubu-led administration’s economic objectives.
These initiatives underscore a concerted effort to bolster Nigeria’s economic resilience and drive sustainable growth under President Tinubu’s leadership.
