Tinubu Turns Up the Heat: Ministers Face Tough Questions in Fresh Accountability Drive
As President Bola Tinubu’s second anniversary in office nears, the Central Results Delivery and Coordination Unit (CDCU) is racing against time to complete a new round of ministerial scorecards. These evaluations, focused on the first quarter of 2025, are set to coincide with the administration’s mid-term milestone on May 29.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to multiple sources within the Presidency, the performance reviews—currently undergoing final verification—are expected to be submitted to President Tinubu imminently. Ministries falling short of expectations are reportedly under growing pressure as scrutiny intensifies.
Led by Hadiza Bala-Usman, the CDCU is reviewing reports submitted by ministries, which include evidence of executed projects and policy achievements. While only a few ministers are said to have exceeded expectations, most are rated as average, with underperformers being closely monitored.
Though no immediate cabinet shake-up is expected, the outcome of these assessments will offer President Tinubu a clearer view of his team’s performance. The President had previously emphasized at the 2023 cabinet retreat that ministers would be held accountable through regular performance appraisals.
“If you are performing, there’s nothing to fear. If not, we’ll review it—and if there’s no improvement, you’ll leave,” Tinubu said then, underlining his performance-first approach.
The CDCU, established under Bala-Usman’s leadership in 2023, was inspired by similar models in the UK and Rwanda. Its role includes tracking key performance indicators, publishing quarterly reports, and flagging critical projects needing executive attention.
The unit’s scorecards have already shaped key decisions—such as the reassignment and dismissal of two ministers in October 2024. Bala-Usman confirmed in a February 2025 TV interview that the assessments are already influencing “targeted conversations” within ministries.
To enhance accuracy and credibility, over 140 officials from 35 federal ministries and agencies were trained in early 2024 to participate in the performance evaluation process. This collaborative approach ensures that the reports presented to the President reflect a broad and detailed analysis of government activities.
