Defence Ministry Inaugurates Committees To Enhance Performance Management System

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence, Dr. Ibrahim Kana has inaugurated the Project Steering Committee and the Project Implementation Technical Team for the Performance Management System (PMS) and Enterprise Content Management.

Dr Kana urged the committee members to ensure the Ministry excels.

He said that the Ministry of Defence has the infrastructure and human resources that are experts to drive the process to success as contained in a statement by the Military ministry’s spokesman, Henshaw Ogubike.

Dr Kana said; “We have experts in the Ministry that can drive the process. We have Directors and Deputy- Directors from different departments who are experts and can help in cascading the processes down to other staff of the Ministry.” 

He therefore called on the Ministry’s Performance Management System (PMS) Champions to demonstrate unwavering commitment and excellence in driving service delivery and achieving set targets in line with the ministry’s mandate towards fulfilling the renewed hope agenda.

Acknowledging that there might be initial hiccups, he charged the PMS Champions to be resilient in overcoming the initial challenges that may arise with the programme’s rollout and re-emphasized the need for a continuous training.

He said; “In MOD, training is not going to be an issue. We can afford to be organizing training on PMS and ECM every week.”

Furthermore, Dr. Kana said that the PMS and ECM Champions are expected to lead the charge towards ensuring efficiency, productivity, and accountability across the Ministry, with the ultimate goal of achieving total compliance with government performance standards.
