The Cabinet Affairs Office, CAO, in the year 1990, was created after the fusion of the National Council of Ministers and Joint Council Secretariat.
Over the years, its mandate has been to provide technical assistance in all meetings of the Federal Executive Council, as well as the Council of State and Police Council.
In a bid to Reposition the Cabinet Affairs Offices for Effective Service Delivery, a one day symposium was held at the state house in Abuja.
Delivering his remarks at the meeting, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, commended the CAO, for its efforts towards ensuring the smooth running of the Federal Executive Council Meetings, adding that it plays crucial role in the running of a successful government.
Some top government functionaries including invited guests also chipped in words of support to validate the efforts of the CAO.
Highlights of the event includes the launch of the Cabinet Affairs Office Handbook as well as the presentation of awards to past permanent secretaries of the CAO for their exceptional service.
