This was disclosed by Mustapha why speaking during the opening ceremony of the Mid-Term Ministerial Performance Review Retreat on Monday.

“From the above, the 878 Contracts approved by FEC have mostly targeted the provision of infrastructure, geared towards enabling faster economic growth and development,” he explained.

“I am glad to say that with the introduction of the Ministerial Mandates by the President, there is greater clarity of expectations of MDAs on deliverables of government priorities to achieve demonstrable results.

The present administration remained focused on its cardinal responsibility of responsively addressing the myriads of needs and challenges of its citizens through the 319 approved policies initiated during the period, the SGF noted.

“Today, there are embedded systems for performance management and improved accountability and transparency for the delivery of services to citizens.
