Tinubu Administration Conducts First Quarter Performance Review of Federal MDAs

President Bola Tinubu is set to receive a report on the performance of Federal Government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) for the first quarter of 2024.

The report, based on an interim assessment submitted to the President, will serve as the foundation for evaluating ministerial performance, Presidency sources revealed.

The Central Delivery Coordination Unit (CDCU), under the leadership of Mrs. Hadiza Bala-Usman, has been overseeing the assessment process.

According to Bala-Usman, the CDCU has received reports from about 20 out of 35 ministries, with the remaining reports expected soon. The assessment involves inputs from ministers, citizens, and industry experts, with a focus on deliverables outlined for each MDA.

The assessment process, initiated in January 2024, aligns with President Tinubu’s commitment to quarterly reviews of ministerial performance.

The President emphasized that ministers would retain their positions based on performance and that quarterly assessments would be conducted accordingly.

To facilitate the assessment, the CDCU trained over 140 officials from federal MDAs, comprising permanent secretaries, directors, and other officials.

These officials are tasked with evaluating the performance of their respective ministries based on predefined deliverables and key performance indicators (KPIs).

The Citizens’ Delivery Tracker (CDT) plays a crucial role in the assessment process by providing a platform for citizens to contribute feedback on MDA performance.

The CDT outlines 204 deliverables and 888 indicators, reflecting the Tinubu administration’s priority areas for development.

These priority areas encompass economic stability, infrastructure development, social welfare, education, national security, agriculture, industrialization, governance, and international relations.

Each ministry is assigned specific deliverables and KPIs within these priority areas, with targets set for both the short and long term.

The assessment process underscores the government’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and effective service delivery.

By evaluating ministerial performance against predefined targets, the government aims to enhance efficiency, drive development, and meet the needs of the Nigerian people.

As the CDCU finalizes the first-quarter assessment report, expectations are high for robust feedback that will inform future policy decisions and initiatives.

The President’s emphasis on performance-based governance reflects a broader commitment to driving progress and achieving sustainable development across Nigeria.
