She said the bond will contain key performance indicators (KPIs) that would be reviewed quarterly.
According to Usman: “We are looking to commence an assessment of the respective ministers in January 2024. We are going to have quarterly assessments of performance which will culminate in an annual score card.
“In addition to that, we are going to have a cabinet retreat in November with Mr. President. At the end, this would culminate in the performance bond that will be signed by each ministry.
“Every minister and the permanent secretary would sign a performance bond with the president which would detail what they are expected to do within the one year 2024 budget cycle.
“And that performance bond is what we are going to use to track the performance of that minister.
“One of the things that we are keen to ensure, and Mr. President has clearly given us that directive is that performance is a very important thing.
“He has made a commitment to Nigerians and that commitment is what he is going to ensure is delivered by his respective appointees.”
