  "summary": "The Federal Government has issued a stern warning to Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) against non-performance, emphasizing the need for accountability and measurable results in line with President Bola Tinubu’s zero-tolerance stance. At a strategic engagement hosted by the Federal Ministry of Finance, Princess Zahrah Mustapha Audu, Director-General of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, revealed findings from the Business Environment Enhancement Programme Accelerator. The assessment indicated that 16 MDAs had fully implemented the reforms evaluated, but recent mystery shopping findings revealed a decline in responsiveness after active monitoring ended. The warning comes amid the implementation of the Business Facilitation Act, aimed at improving the ease of doing business in Nigeria through reforms that make government processes more efficient and responsive.",
