Vietnamese administrative reform will enhance efficiency- Ambassador
By Sarafina Christopher
Mr Bui Hung, the Vietnamese Ambassador to Nigeria says his country’s administrative reforms will enhance efficiency within the government and reduce redundancy.
The ambassador stated this during an exclusive interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abuja.
He highlighted the Vietnamese government’s strategy aimed at restructuring its administrative tiers, particularly by merging and reorganising administrative units at provincial and commune levels.
According to him, the initiative follows the adoption of Resolution No. 202/2025/QH15, which officially decreased the number of provincial-level administrative units.
He said that the reduction was from 63 to 34, comprising 28 provinces and 6 centrally-administered cities.
“The restructuring process is imperative for streamlining governance and ensuring that resources are utilised effectively,” Hung stated.
He explained that this plan was not only about reducing numbers but focused on creating more efficient administrative functionalities and improving public service delivery.
He added that as part of the reform effort, existing local government structures are being re-evaluated and refined.
“We aim to establish new commune-level Party Committees and appoint key leadership positions that align with the vision of efficient governance,” he noted.
According to the ambassador, this will enable local authorities to respond more effectively to community needs and enhance overall government responsiveness.
He also underscored the importance of these reforms in the context of economic growth and stability in developing countries.
“By eliminating unnecessary layers of bureaucracy, we can minimise delays and streamline processes that have previously hindered effective governance,” he explained.
The ambassador said that the government had taken deliberate measures to address the various impact of these changes on political stability and leadership continuity.
“Our plans have strong public backing, and we are committed to maintaining continuity of services through established local authority structures throughout the transition.
“We believe that these administrative reforms will yield positive outcomes, ultimately benefiting the Vietnamese people through enhanced governance and an improved public,” he said.
He said that the initiative would further foster collaboration with other developing nations facing similar challenges, particularly in Africa.(NAN)(www.nannews.com.ng)
