Why Credibility Matters in Nigeria’s Reform Landscape

Policy text alone doesn’t deliver electricity. It doesn’t build markets or fix institutions. Execution does.

At ECL, we understand how difficult it is to take an idea designed in a meeting room and make it work across government agencies, regulators, private investors and political actors. Execution is not linear; it demands negotiation, strategic patience, and the ability to navigate political economy realities.

Our approach to execution is shaped by years working inside government, advising Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Governors, regulators and donor agencies. We know the pressure points, the constraints, and the opportunities.

True execution means:

• Designing reforms that can survive real-world politics

• Managing multi-disciplinary teams across ministries and agencies

• Translating policies into operational guidelines and market rules

• Creating structures that last beyond administration cycles

For us, execution is not an afterthought — it’s the heart of reform.
