According to him, FORCEPA was established on the conviction that the leadership experience, institutional knowledge, professional networks and grassroots influence of chief executives of government agencies could contribute meaningfully to effective governance and national development.
He explained that the Forum provides a platform for collaboration among public-sector leaders who understand government operations, public service delivery and the need to translate policy decisions into measurable outcomes for Nigerians.
Dr. Raji added that effective governance must be complemented by clear communication, informed citizen participation and sustained engagement with communities across the country.
“The Forum commends President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his bold leadership, courage and willingness to undertake difficult but necessary economic reforms aimed at repositioning Nigeria for sustainable growth, improved public finances, greater investment and long-term prosperity,” he said.
The FORCEPA chairman urged Nigerians to assess the administration’s policies, achievements and ongoing programmes objectively, while supporting the continuation of the Renewed Hope Agenda under the Tinubu–Shettima leadership.
He said the Forum would continue to promote public enlightenment by connecting government policies and agency programmes with the everyday concerns of Nigerians, including employment, economic opportunities, institutional efficiency, security, social welfare and inclusive development.
Dr. Raji disclosed that FORCEPA had mobilised more than 100,000 supporters for the campaign kick-off in Kaduna, with members deployed to coordinate mobilisation, engage stakeholders and encourage participation in the event.
He said the initiative demonstrated the Forum’s organisational readiness to contribute to the broader campaign efforts of the All Progressives Congress (APC) through coordinated leadership, strategic communication and grassroots engagement.
Dr. Raji called on members, supporters and stakeholders to remain united, disciplined and peaceful in pursuit of what he described as the shared goal of building a stronger, more prosperous and inclusive Nigeria.
He maintained that the Tinubu–Shettima administration should be given the opportunity to consolidate its reforms, strengthen implementation and deliver further progress for Nigerians.
