Nigeria unveils app for citizens to track ministers’ performance
The Nigerian Government has unveiled a mobile application called the Delivery Tracker App for citizens to track and monitor the performance of ministers.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on policy coordination and head of the Central Delivery Coordination Unit (CDCU), Hadiza Bala Usman, launched the app at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, on Monday.
According to Usman, the app will allow all citizens to view the deliverables and key performance indicators (KPI) for all ministries and also give their assessment of the performance of each of the indicators.
The president’s aide added that the need for the app to go live is in line with one of the agendas of President Tinubu to ensure that Nigerians are a vital part of the monitoring and performance management process of his administration.
Usman explained that the app, which can be accessed at app.cdcu.gov.ng simply, shows that Tinubu is committed to ensuring accountability and transparency within his administration.
“The presidential priority areas include reforming the economy to deliver sustained and inclusive growth, and strengthening national security for peace and prosperity,” she said.
“The app is also meant to boost agriculture so as to achieve food security, and unlocking energy and natural resources for sustainable development.
“Others are enhancing infrastructure and transportation as enablers for growth, focusing on education, health, and social investment as essential pillars of development, accelerating diversification through industrialisation, digitisation, creative arts, manufacturing, and innovation, and improving governance for effective service delivery.
“For each of these priority areas, we agreed on specific deliverables and developed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), which formed the basis for the Performance Bond which all Ministers and Permanent Secretaries signed with the President in November 2023.”
The Special Adviser said the parameters will guide the Quarterly Assessments and Annual Scorecards, which the CDCU is mandated to present to the President.
Usman said the Delivery Tracker App will be available for download on the Google Play Store and Apple Store within the next month.
