By Sam Chijioke Ekwueme<\/div>\n
\n
\nHe is a consistent, persistent workaholic. He is not one given to sloth.
\nHis contempt for laziness is undisguised. And God continues to thrust on
\nhis laps assignments that require experience, hard work, commitment and
\ntact to accomplish.\u00a0 Over the years, he had successfully honchoed some
\nflagship responsibilities both in the private and public sectors. His
\nposition as a member of Nigeria\u2019s Federal Executive Council (FEC)
\nlends credence and validation to his profile in hard work. In addition
\nto hard work is the factor of providence. Welcome to the world of Prince
\nClem Ikanade Agba, minister of state for budget and national planning,
\nwho takes time off on Saturday, March 28, 2020, to unwind on the
\noccasion of his 56th birthday.<\/p>\n

Even if the occasion is low-key, in consideration of the COVID-19 global
\npandemic, it will, nevertheless, serve as a good break to his daily
\nroutine of immersing himself in files to ensure that his table is
\ncleared and official processes are not slowed down.\u00a0 It is
\ncharacteristic of Prince Clem to take home unfinished work or pending
\nfiles to ensure that all issues are dealt with expeditiously.\u00a0 Most
\ntimes, even after a long overseas trip, he still resumes work the same
\nday while in some other times, he ensures he catches the last flights
\njust to attend to official matters.<\/p>\n

Brilliant, charismatic, disciplined, sound worker, proactive,
\nresult-oriented in every human endeavor, the first test of his resilient
\nspirit was the expeditious passage of the 2020 budget.\u00a0 On assumption of
\noffice in August 2019, he was evangelical about the desire of the
\nFederal Government to return Nigeria to the January to December budget
\ncycle for better planning, performance and resource allocations. Working
\nhand-in-hand with his sister and colleague, Minister of Finance, Budget
\nand National Planning, Mrs Zaynab Shamsuna Ahmed, as well as synergizing
\nwith the federal legislators, the 2020 budget was passed, signed into
\nlaw by President Muhammadu Buhari and became operational from January
\n2020, thus ending the plethora of hitherto haphazard budget cycles since
\n1999.<\/p>\n

The certainty of the budget cycle enables states and local governments
\nto plan as well. Furthermore, it assists Official Development Assistance
\n(ODA) to align programmes and support to Nigeria\u2019s priority areas.
\nSignificantly, deploying little resources in achieving more is Clem\u2019s
\nessential philosophy since assumption of office as Minister of State for
\nBudget and National Planning.\u00a0 How to get value for money expended by
\ngovernment, with the reduction or elimination of leakages, is his
\npreoccupation. To achieve this, he is sharply focused on strengthening
\nthe monitoring and evaluation capacity of the Federal Government to
\nenhance efficiency and effectiveness of service and project delivery.
\nThis is one area about which Prince Clem is very passionate.<\/p>\n

It is therefore also not surprising how quickly he is working with his
\nother colleagues to develop short and medium-term strategies\/programmes
\nto navigate the current resource\/revenue challenge due to the slump in
\noil prices from the benchmark of $57 per barrel to -$30 per barrel. He
\nis optimistic that government will deliver critical priority services
\nand projects even with the limited resources once leakages have been
\neliminated and efficiency\/effectiveness enhanced.<\/p>\n

Clem also swung into action in assessing and developing short, medium
\nand long-term programmes of rehabilitating and enhancing the quality and
\nperformance of the parastatals under his leadership: National Bureau of
\nStatistics (NBS), Nigeria Institute of Social and Economic Research
\n(NISER), Center for Management Development (CMD) and the Budget Office
\nof the Federation (BOF). These programmes included improved funding,
\nrehabilitation of dilapidated facilities, building and enhancing the
\norganizational capacity of the various organizations, among other
\nthings. He recently toured most of these facilities, held town hall
\nmeetings with the leadership and staff members to collate, synthesize
\nand prioritize their issues. This is a demonstration of servant
\nleadership.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, within such a short time since assuming office, Clem also
\nchampioned the Nigeria Road Safety Strategy (NRSS) II (2019-2023). This
\nis an integrated road safety strategy anchored on the five pillars of
\nthe United Nations\u2019 decade of actions, namely: effective road safety
\nmanagement, safer roads, safe vehicles, safer road users and post-crash
\ncare response. He provided support and input to the development of the
\nstrategy and also chaired the technical session of all the relevant
\nstakeholders in the transportation field at a close out workshop
\nrecently in Abuja. His performance and knowledge of the issues and
\nstrategies at the session were outstanding even to the amazement of
\nstakeholders and participants.\u00a0 At the workshop, Clem asserted that
\nalthough the country had made tremendous commitments and progress in the
\nimplementation of the first edition of the Nigeria Road Safety Strategy
\n(2014-2018), \u201ceach road death leaves families and friends bereaved
\nwith its own particular story, pain and misery.\u201d<\/p>\n

A team player and an advocate of \u201cpower of one team\u201d for better
\nresult., Clem has continued to strengthen executive\/legislative
\ncollaboration. He recently facilitated and participated actively in a
\ntwo-day retreat\/workshop on the budget process for both the National
\nAssembly (NASS)\/ Budget office of the Federation where he championed the
\nimperative for one team in the development and execution of budget to
\nachieve critical priority goals.\u00a0 It was also an opportunity for him to
\ncontinue to canvass an effective and efficient utilization of revenues
\nand prioritization of various critical projects in identified key areas.
\nAccording to him, \u201cwe are currently too thinned out, i.e. we spread
\nout our little resources in so many areas with little or no project
\ndelivered. Through such collaborations, we can all agree on priority
\nprojects and provide adequate funding to deliver them for the good of
\nthe people instead of having uncompleted projects all over the
\nplaces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clem is saddled with the responsibility of providing leadership in the
\npreparation of a Medium-Term National Development Plan (MTNDP) 2021-2025
\nand a Long-Term Plan called \u201cNigeria Agenda 2050\u201d (Perspective plan)
\nto replace the two plans that will be expiring at the end of this year
\n(2020), to wit: the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) 2017-2020
\nand Nigeria Vision 20:2020.<\/p>\n

Considering his background as a consummate professional with over 30
\nyears in the private sector, his achievements within such a short time
\nwere not surprising. To be sure, he spent 29 of those years working for
\nChevron, a high-class multinational oil and gas company operating all
\nover the world. Due to his distinctive performance in Chevron Nigeria,
\nClem was seconded to Chevron Oil Corporation in Houston in 1996 to
\nshowcase his expertise in Shipping. In the year 2006, he was again
\ncalled upon to deliver another top-class performance in Chevroil Tengiz
\nKazakhstan, to run and manage a massive logistic chain with over 1600
\npeople.<\/p>\n

As soon as Clem was brought back to Nigeria by Chevron for a higher
\nresponsibility, he was called upon in 2009 by Edo State government to
\nserve as Commissioner under Comrade Governor, Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole. He
\njoined the Rescue Team that took Edo State to an enviable height in
\ngovernance and development. He served as commissioner for about seven
\nyears at various ministries such as Environment and Public Utilities;
\nand, Lands, Survey & Housing. As usual, he displayed strong leadership
\nand initiated fundamental reforms in the various ministries such as the
\nsetup of the Edo State Geographic Information Services (EGIS). He was a
\nmember of Edo State Economic Team and Chairman of Edo State Tenders
\nBoard (2009-2012). In line with the Governor\u2019s vision, Clem championed
\nthe urban renewal and drainage infrastructure drive as well as the
\nsustainable forest re-generation initiatives of the administration.\u00a0 He
\nwas also pivotal to the solution to Edo State flood and erosion
\nchallenge.<\/p>\n

Recipient of many awards in both professional, social and community
\nservices among which are National Award of Excellence in Leadership,
\nSave the Ozone Award of Excellence in Environmental Management;
\nDiversity Ambassador of Chevron Corporation; Recognitions and awards
\nfrom the Uneme National Development Union, among many others, Clem was
\nborn to the family of His Royal Highness, Pius Kadiri Ikanade Agba- the
\nOliola of Uzanu.\u00a0 A well-educated technocrat, he has two Masters Degrees
\nin Business Administration, one from the University of Benin, Benin-City
\nwith specialization in Management and the other from Arizona State
\nUniversity, Tempe, Arizona, the USA with specialization in Supply Chain
\nManagement. He obtained a B.Sc Economics degree in 1985 from Bendel
\nState University, now Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma.<\/p>\n

He is married to Princess Catherine of the Obaseki royal family of Benin
\nKingdom.\u00a0 They are blessed with four lovely boys. Although they would
\nhave loved to have a lovely girl, they had to stop at four boys in dread
\nof his grandma\u2019s assertion that he would have nine boys first before a
\ngirl. However, the girls have started coming with two lovely
\ndaughters-in-law already.\u00a0 Enjoy your anniversary, Prince Clem!<\/p>\n
