Gombe Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, on Friday, attended the inaugural Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) Townhall meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The townhall meeting, Chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima, served as a platform to deepen the PEBEC’s regulatory reform mandate following the completion of the 90-day Regulatory Reform Accelerator Action Plan.
Apart from Governor Inuwa Yahaya, the meeting had in attendance, some ministers, heads of over 50 federal government agencies and their reform teams, representatives of the organised private sector, and other stakeholders.
