As Prince Clem Agba Bows Out Of Office With A Deserving Sense Of Fulfilment No doubt a man who wields a humongous experience not only in the oil and gas sector where he spent a large chunk of his years working in the industry across the globe, but across other fields of human endeavour where he has deployed administrative dexterity to turn things around.
His appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari as the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning in 2019 was a game-changer as he brought so much vibrancy and innovations into the ministry with a view of repositioning for optimal service delivery to Nigerians.
In coming days, precisely May 29, he will bow out of office by the virtue of expiration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure as the President of Nigeria. What is however remarkable is that he is leaving behind a legacy for which he will be remembered in years to come.
His greatest asset is his experiential capacity, which spans from private and public sector, especially in the oil industry where he served for the greater years of his working age.
Among organisations where he has worked include, Tengizchevroil (TCO) LLC as Logistics Superintendent, Chevron Nigeria Limited where he occupied several positions, including Senior Contract Advisor, Community Procurement Operations Manager, Transport and Travel Manager and more.
In public sector, he has held several positions Edo State Government House, including commissioner in charge of Ministry of Environment and Public Utilities as well as Ministry of Land, Survey and Housing.
Clem Agba is known for making the very best in whatever he sets his eye to achieving, a testimony clearly seen in his catalogue of milestones in Edo while he was Commissioner.
It was not surprising that the Ministry of Budget and National Planning under him brought on board so much innovations that helped in fostering trust and transparency in governance, as well as affording citizens opportunity to be part of their developmental process.
The deployment and launch of “Eye-Mark Web Application” which helps to monitor and evaluate execution of projects embarked upon by Federal Government is a significant milestone. It is a GRID 3 geo-spatial technology, domiciled in the Monitoring and Evaluation Department of Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning that ensures transparency and integrity in project execution through citizens’ participation.
The Minister wants to ensure that the era when the government only “earmark money” for development projects with minimal monitoring is gone. Now it would also “eye-mark” progress in the execution of such projects as captured in the budget. The intent of the “eye-mark web app” is to use geo-spatial technology to monitor progress of all projects.
Under him, the campaign for resource mobilisation gained momentum, with a projection that taxation of the digital economy can raise government revenue profile by about 15 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2025.
The Ministry of Finance Budget and National planning introduced the Strategic Revenue Growth Initiative (SRGI) and the Finance Act, which the minister was an active part of was aimed at mobilising domestic funds necessary for human capital and infrastructure development that were both drivers and enablers of sustainable economic growth and development.
The Minister told a gathering, “The SRGI is designed to improve government revenue and entrench fiscal prudence with emphasis on achieving value for money. A total of 47 Strategic Revenue Growth Initiatives were identified across three thematic areas to achieve sustainability in revenue generation, identify new revenue streams and enhance the enforcement of existing ones as well as achieve cohesion in the revenue ecosystem.
“The digitalisation of the economy has revealed some challenges and shortcomings in the existing tax practice as it affects the allocation of taxing rights and administration of taxes, especially with respect to non-resident taxpayers.”
The Ministry of Budget and National Planning has frontally dealt with these issues through a three-pronged approach that consists of strategic changes to tax policy, administration and effective legislative framework which has loosened up locked revenues critical to building a new nation.
As a means ensuring that the vulnerable in the society are protected, he initiated an inter-ministerial technical working committee to review the National Social Protection Policy and produce a revised policy which started to run from 2021-2025. His ministry mainstreamed social protection into a Medium Term National Development Plans which started since 2021 to terminate in 2025 while a long term perspective plan is the Nigeria Agenda 2050 which has successfully taken Nigeria to a proper medium and long term planning. Today, we are all witnesses to the digitisation process in the payment of needy households and how leakages have been blocked to ensure wider coverage of social protection schemes of the government.
Under him, for the first time in Nigeria since 1999 the minister has been able to change the budget circle to a predictable January to December consistently in the past four years, the Federal Government also budgeted N126 billion in the Economic Sustainability Plan (ESP) to upgrade infrastructure in Nigeria’s Federal Medical Centres (FMCs) and teaching hospitals to ensure effective access to health among Nigerians.
His ministry understood the importance of partnership to drive institutional financial support for implementation of research planning outcomes towards improving the health of the masses. His ministry was at the forefront in driving progress in the health sector by upgrading and developing Nigeria’s health infrastructure and ensuring operationalisation of the National Health Act 2018 which seeks to increase the fiscal space and overall financing to the health sector to assist Nigeria achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through revitalisation of Primary Health Care (PHC) and other schemes.
This space cannot contain the catalogue of achievements the ministry has made under Agba. As he bows out, it is important to state that he has gloriously inked his name in the nation’s historical page of honour with the outstanding performance he has demonstrated. For these, posterity will be kind to him.
