‘No more excuses, heads will roll’ – Nigerian Govt warns non-performing MDAs

The Federal Government has issued a stern warning to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) against poor performance, insisting on accountability and measurable results in line with President Bola Tinubu's zero-tolerance stance on non-performance. At the MDA High-Level Strategic Engagement and Press Briefing, the Director-General of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, Princess Zahrah Mustapha Audu, highlighted the importance of data collection, harmonisation, and reform compliance.

The Business Environment Enhancement Programme Accelerator assessment showed that 16 MDAs had achieved full implementation of reforms, but recent mystery shopping findings revealed a decline in responsiveness after active monitoring ended. The Federal Ministry of Finance emphasized that performance monitoring is continuous, and MDAs must be prepared to account for their results, aligning with the President's stance on non-performance and the government's determination to improve public institutions' efficiency and responsiveness.
