It will engage industry operators, regulators, investors, and civil society organizations as consultees while focusing on actionable policy design and implementation strategies. The task force will report directly to the President and provide monthly progress memoranda. An interim report is expected after three months, while the final report will be submitted within six months of its inauguration. Onanuga stated that President Tinubu expects the group to deliver three key reform blueprints.

The second deliverable is the Capital and Liquidity Acceleration Blueprint, aimed at unlocking between $5 billion and $10 billion in sectoral liquidity while safeguarding Nigeria’s sovereign interests. The third blueprint will focus on a National Energy Transformation Strategy, a ten-year roadmap with measurable targets for production, foreign exchange earnings, contribution to gross domestic product, and cost competitiveness. The President has also directed all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, regulators, and other relevant institutions to provide full technical support to the task force and submit inventories of ongoing initiatives to ensure alignment with the emerging reform framework. Advertisement He directed all existing committees, teams, and working groups established under various reform initiatives within the sector to align their activities, reporting structures, and work programmes with the new task force. President Tinubu further directed that all relevant documentation, institutional knowledge, and ongoing workstreams be made available to the task force to support the development and implementation of a comprehensive reform framework. The task force will automatically dissolve upon the submission and acceptance of its final report.
