“It is crucial to recognize that the Nigerian people rely on us to implement policies and deliver services that enhance their well-being. As custodians of public trust, we must be transparent and accountable in our service delivery to promote sustainable development”, the statement read.

Signed by all Ministers and Permanent Secretaries in October 2023, the bond outlines clear performance objectives and standards that must be achieved within a set timeframe.
The Minister stressed that the performance contract is not merely about meeting targets.
It fosters a culture of excellence, encouraging continuous learning, regular review processes, and feedback mechanisms.
Directors are expected to manage and oversee the performance delivery process within their respective departments, with a focus on strengthening national security for peace and prosperity.
During the ceremony, Azeez Margaret, Director of Planning, Research, and Statistics, highlighted the significance of the contract, noting it is more than just a document.
“It is a promise to uphold our standards, exceed expectations, and remain accountable for delivering results that will move the organization forward,” she said.
