The Presidency on Monday unveiled its Citizens’ Delivery Tracker to provide an efficient way for citizens to give feedback to the government, on the eight priority areas of the Bola Tinubu administration.
The President’s Special Adviser on Policy and Coordination, Hadiza Bala-Usman, disclosed this at the Go-Live event of the CDT in Abuja on Monday.
Bala-Usman said, “The platform will be available as an app for download in the next few months.”
She said Monday’s unveiling is the conclusion of a months-long process since President Tinubu announced plans for ministerial assessment at the Cabinet Retreat for ministers and heads of government agencies last November.
The eight priority areas are: Reform the economy to deliver sustained inclusive growth, strengthen national security for peace and prosperity, boost agriculture to achieve food security, and unlock energy and natural resources for sustainable development.
Others are to enhance infrastructure and transportation as enablers of growth, focus on education, health, and social investment as essential pillars of development, accelerate diversification through industrialisation, digitisation, creative arts, manufacturing & innovation and Improve governance for effective service delivery.
In an interview last October, Bala-Usman revealed that the Federal Government would prioritise citizen engagement to ensure that Nigerians are part of the ministerial assessment.
“We’re going to deploy an application, a software where citizens are able to report back on project-based deliverables that the federal government has committed to doing within the period to 2024,” she explained.
“We sat with the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. We have worked effectively to define exactly the deliverables for each ministry.
“And those deliverables are also deliverables that I mentioned cascade to the agencies of government. So, for example, you have the sectoral deliverables for a sector in health, and everything that is contained within the value chain or the ecosystem within that sector will be contained within the deliverables.
“Those deliverables are translated into key performance indicators for the respective ministries. Once you have your key performance indicators, you’re able to clearly understand what your deliverables are over the period of the four years of the administration.”
