He said, in line with the Federal Government’s reform agenda, the exercise is to, “position and re-professionalise the public service for greater efficiency, effectiveness in service delivery, accountability, transparency and overall national productivity”.     Mohammed said that the last Presidential Retreat on Service Delivery has made it mandatory for government agencies to build a civil service that is performance and result oriented, customer-driven, investment friendly, professional and technologically driven with all stakeholders committed to a continuous improvement in the conduct of government business and enhancement of national productivity.  “The ministry’s view of the administration and management of football in Nigeria fits into this mission statement”, Mohammed said. In reviewing the decree, the minister said, the committee should bear in mind the fact that government is the sole sponsor of football activities in the country and urged them to find a legal due process  in the review of the decree. He stated that government would appreciate a situation where it would have a minimum role to play in the affairs of the NFA at the end of the exercise. whose report is to be submitted on October 19, 2004. Other issues to be handled by the committee are the review of the present league structure, review of present Challenge Cup structure, review of the youth development football structure and to  propose marketing reforms of the NFA programmes.       Copyright� 2002.
