The signing ceremony was held at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja during the sector-wide Ministerial Performance Management System (MPMS) retreat, according to a statement signed by Bolaji Kazeem, the Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations.
In her capacity as Permanent Secretary, Dr. Anuma Ogbonnaya Nlia, the minister made it clear that the signing ceremony represents a watershed moment in the ministry’s efforts to institutionalise the Performance Management System.
Additionally, he mentioned that important tasks have been transformed into KPIs, targets, and milestones that may be used to evaluate the directors’ work.

In order to strengthen Nigeria’s national security and advance the country’s peace and development, our involvement is crucial. The total effectiveness of the ministry is directly affected by your performance.
When you do a great job, it makes it easier for us to help the people of Nigeria. He emphasised that every contribution regarding the aims of your department is vital to the success of the ministry.
Nevertheless, the minister issued a warning that the heads of department and their teams must not obstruct the ministry’s advancement. He went on to say that if they don’t, the ministry could not complete important projects that would solve pressing national problems and boost economic growth.

“As you know, security is sacrosanct for economic growth,” he explained, emphasising the government agency’s central importance. Keep focused on our shared goal of improving our country’s well-being; your work is crucial to national progress.
If you believe Gaidam, the Performance Management System is the backbone of the Federal Civil Service’s continuous transformation.
“This signing underscores our commitment to excellence and efficiency, ensuring our ministry remains among the leading ministries in implementing these reforms,” he stated, stressing the importance of performance contracts being in line with national priorities and presidential deliverables.
Professor Adeyemi Ajayi, the retreat’s facilitator, said in his presentation that the system’s institutionalisation is the main goal of the retreat. He made the point that by signing the contract, they are showing their support for the current administration’s goals and their willingness to help modernise Nigeria.
Your efforts as CEOs and directors would have bolstered the efforts of the Permanent Secretary, the Honourable Minister, and the President. There will be repercussions for your inaction, Ajayi warned, since it would be obvious that you had not accomplished anything by not carrying out your responsibilities.
As previously stated by Dr. Osueke John Chidi, Director of Planning, Research, and Statistics, the Performance Management System is crucial for several reasons, including but not limited to: improving accountability and motivation throughout the organisation, reaching presidential mandates within the Federal Public Service, and evaluating employee performance.
