The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, Dr Binyerem C. Ukaire, has called on the Ministry and its agencies to take ownership of their responsibilities, monitor progress, address challenges early and deliver results.
She made the call on Tuesday in Abuja at the 2026 Third Quarter Delivery Task Team Performance Review Meeting for the Ministry and its agencies, held at Music Studio 5, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), Radio House.
Ukaire described the quarterly performance review as an important mechanism for strengthening accountability and driving results across the Ministry and its agencies.
“A performing Ministry and agency understands its goals and priorities, takes ownership of its responsibilities, monitors progress, addresses challenges promptly and delivers results,” she said.
She said the quarterly review was designed to measure progress against planned targets, identify challenges early, improve accountability and support informed decision-making.
“Performance tracking answers three basic questions: Where are we now? Where do we want to be? Are we moving in the right direction?” she said.
Ukaire urged Directors, Heads of Agencies and DTT Desk Officers to go beyond reporting activities and focus on interpreting results, identifying gaps and finding practical solutions to challenges.
“Our responsibility must go beyond reporting activities; we must interpret the results correctly,” she said.
She commended the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit (CRDCU), the Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination, Hadiza Bala-Usman, and the CRDCU Delivery Manager, Barrister Uche Chikwe, for their support to the Ministry.
The Director-General of FRCN, Dr Mohammed Bulama, said the Corporation had taken deliberate steps to align its operations with the Federal Government’s delivery framework.
“At FRCN, our work cuts across all eight priorities, but particularly priorities seven and eight, using creative arts, digitisation and innovation to inform, educate and entertain, while improving governance through credible information dissemination,” he said.
The Permanent Secretary said the Ministry would continue to provide the leadership needed to move from activities to results and from identifying challenges to solving them, in line with the Federal Government’s priorities.
