Governments formally organise Customs, Public Procurement, and related Administrative Authorities as control functions. When this organism functions well, governments experience control without friction. When it fails, the symptoms are unmistakable: delays, leakages, disputes, litigation, cost overruns, and erosion of trust.
Most Ministries of Commerce & Industry still treat Enterprise Architecture as a collection of trade portals, industrial incentive schemes, single-window clearance platforms, and compliance systems. As a result, EA initiatives fail to improve ease of doing business outcomes, scale industrial capacity, integrate exports with domestic manufacturing, reduce approval friction, or align policy intent with enterprise execution on the ground.
