Thirty-eighth session of the Commission/Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development: scaling-up commitment towards millenium development goals address delivered by Senator Ken Nnamani president, senate of the federal republic of Nigeria
Address Delivered by Senator Ken Nnamani President, Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at the Thirty-eighth session of the Commission/Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development "Scaling-Up Commitment Towards Millennium Development Goals". Senator Ken, on his remarks highlighted that, the choice of the theme of the Conference is most apposite. The Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) is a set of economic and social objectives agreed to by the International Community as common concerns for the eradication of extreme poverty in the world. It summarizes our common and collective aspirations as citizens and responds to our natural impulse to improve the human condition. They also provide a common framework for collective action poverty, the scourge of diseases and illiteracy. The challenge before African leaders is to find innovative ways to mobilize domestic resources and reduce dependency on donor aid. This requires that we improve our tax systems and management of public revenues. Fiscal responsibility is necessary. Nigeria is setting a good example with the Fiscal Responsibility Bill introduced by the Minister of Finance.
