President Bola Tinubu is anticipated to receive a comprehensive report evaluating the performance of Federal Government ministries, departments, and agencies during the first quarter of 2024.
Sources within the Presidency disclosed that the report will serve as the foundation for President Tinubu’s appraisal of his ministers.
An anonymous source familiar with the matter revealed, “An interim report on ministerial performance has been submitted to the President, with the Q1 report currently in preparation.”
Dispelling rumors of imminent ministerial changes, another senior official asserted, “Speculations about ministerial reshuffling are unfounded. If there were any, we would have been informed by now, considering May 29 is approaching.”
Earlier statements by Mrs. Hadiza Bala-Usman, the President’s Special Adviser on Policy Coordination, outlined the collaborative effort involving ministers, citizens, and industry experts in generating the Q1 assessment report. She emphasized the importance of public feedback through platforms like the Citizens Delivery Tracker app.
However, the exact timeline for transmitting the Q1 report to the President remains unconfirmed, as efforts to reach the Central Delivery Coordination Unit (CDCU) were unsuccessful.
President Tinubu had previously emphasized the importance of performance in his administration, indicating that quarterly reviews would determine ministerial retention.
In preparation for the assessments, the CDCU trained over 140 officials from various ministries to track and evaluate performance based on predefined deliverables and key performance indicators (KPIs).
The Citizens’ Delivery Tracker, launched in April, aims to foster accountability by monitoring over 200 deliverables across government agencies, reflecting the administration’s priorities from economic stability to national security.
Each ministry has been assigned specific targets, such as increasing tax revenue and enhancing national security, with corresponding KPIs to measure progress.
These parameters, developed through extensive consultations, will guide quarterly assessments and annual scorecards presented to the President by the CDCU, ensuring accountability and performance-driven governance.
