Before he leaves office in 2023, President Muhammadu Buhari has instructed his advisers to start the necessary planning and documentation.
The Nigerian president, who is preparing for the conclusion of his second term, instructed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, on Tuesday to take the process of quarterly reviews and ministry evaluations seriously for the third and fourth quarters of 2022.
He claims that this will be included in the transitional materials his administration provides to the new administration following the 2023 presidential elections.

“Our collective goal is to map out a transition plan for the incoming administration to ensure proper documentation of all the policies, programmes and projects of government with an up-to-date status of implementation,’’ the Nigerian leader said at the closing ceremony of the 2022 Ministerial Performance Review Retreat in Abuja yesterday.
Executive Order 012 on Improving Performance Management, Coordination and Implementation of Presidential Priorities was signed by Buhari after the directive, according to Naija News.
To accomplish the goal, he gave an order to all ministers and permanent secretaries to make sure that the performance reports of their ministries were sent to the Office of the SGF on a quarterly basis for assessment by the Central Delivery Coordination Unit.
“The outcome of these reviews would be made available for my consideration,” the president reiterated.
