The Federal Capital Territory Administration is set to establish a Performance Delivery Unit (PDU) in all the Secretariats, Departments and Agencies of the Administration in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
The Permanent Secretary, Mr Olusade Adesola made this known in Keffi, Nasarawa State, during a 3-day training and retreat organized for 30 Desk Officers of the Administration to drive the implementation of a performance delivery system for the FCT.
He explained that the PDU would assist in tracking and monitoring the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved policies, programmes and projects in line with the nine (9) priority areas of the Federal Government as it concerns FCT.
Mr Adesola further disclosed that for proper tracking, documentation and reporting of the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari, the nine ministerial priority areas have been broken down into quarterly and yearly targets
According to him, the FCT Administration has successfully completed and submitted the first, second, third and fourth quarterly reports to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
“FCT is expected to submit annual and quarterly targets and actuals to the Central Delivery Unit, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), for performance assessment. The compilation of quarters 1,2,3 and 4 output and project framework template by the FCT has been completed and delivered.”
He also explained that poised to address the challenges that emanated from the template reporting observed by the Administration,30 Desk Officers cutting all the SDAs have been released to undergo training on data collection, collation and sharing with the Economic Planning Revenue Generation and PPP.

The Reform Facilitator and Foreign Commonwealth and Development Officer, Mrs Chioma Hodo expressed confidence the programme will strengthen the country’s Civil Service System as well as improve the living standard of the people.
