President Bola Tinubu has directed the reactivation of the presidential projects delivery tracker, a platform that allows the public to monitor the progress of projects across the nation in real time. The announcement was made on Friday during the closing session of a three-day cabinet retreat held in Abuja for ministers, permanent secretaries and other political appointees.
President Tinubu said that the decision to reactivate the tracking system was in line with his administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability. He said that the system would empower Nigerians to hold him and his ministers accountable for their promises.
The president also announced the establishment of a ‘Results Delivery Units’ to be headed by Hadiza Bala Usman through which ministers, permanent secretaries and the president would assess themselves from time to time. He said that the unit would help to ensure that the administration’s targets were met and that projects were completed on time and within budget.
President Tinubu’s directive to reactivate the presidential projects delivery tracker has been welcomed by many Nigerians. They see it as a sign that the president is serious about his commitment to transparency and accountability.
Background
The presidential projects delivery tracker was first launched in 2016 by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. However, the system was not regularly updated and it eventually fell into disuse.
