BPE Director General, Alex. A Okoh, conveyed the appointment to Adebayo in a letter dated March 11, 2021 with Ref. No. BPE/PTMD/HSC/2021/M3/1.
Okoh states that the Bureau is saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that all privatised State Owned Enterprises (SOE) are functioning optimally among others.
To this end, BPE is constituting inter-agencies, and private sector committees to come up with viable suggestions and recommendations for the consideration of the Federal Government
Following the approval of the NCP chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, four sector committees on non-performing enterprises are being constituted with the aim of rejuvenating the ailing and moribund privatised enterprises in order to improve their economic performance in line with the government’s roadmap on the Economic Recovery & Growth Plan (ERGP).
