The Vice President emphasised that the administration’s support for NIPSS goes beyond funding and infrastructure, stressing that the institute’s outputs would be fully integrated into national decision-making frameworks. He praised the institute’s critical role in building leadership capacity necessary to navigate Nigeria’s complex policy and governance challenges.
