The call was made by Akume on Monday in Lagos at the Nigerian Institute of Management Chartered (NIM) 2023 Annual National Management Conference in his capacity as Senior Special Adviser to the SGF.
The theme of the event, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), was "Managing Nigeria's Path to Sustainable Economic Growth and Prosperity: The Challenges before the New National Leadership."
According to the SGF, the topic was appropriate and pertinent for setting the country on a new course and ushering in a national renaissance in keeping with the federal government's eight-point strategy.
He recalled President Bola Tinubu's eight-point plan to revive the economy and improve living conditions for all Nigerians, which included ensuring food security, eradicating poverty, fostering economic growth and job creation, facilitating access to capital, enhancing security, leveling the playing field for people and businesses, promoting the rule of law, and combating corruption.
According to Akume, the federal government is making concerted efforts in all important areas to revive the economy and bring about the democratic dividends.
"By choosing this year's conference's theme, the Institute has further shown its dedication to helping the federal government realize its goal of repositioning and revitalizing the country's economy.
"I can confidently state to this group of experienced managers that the Bola Tinubu-led government is eager to build a name for itself and will not fall short in this difficult but doable assignment.
As we beg for additional time to carry out our eight-point plan, we also ask for everyone's help and understanding to lift the economy out of its gloom, he said.
Akume also asked the NIM to increase its visibility during National Assembly public sessions in order to provide more substantial professional management feedback that would be most pertinent to the general public.
