  "summary": "The Federal Government has issued a warning to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) against poor performance, emphasizing 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 progress and shortcomings in reform implementation among federal MDAs. While 16 MDAs achieved full implementation of reforms, recent mystery shopping findings revealed a decline in responsiveness after active monitoring ended, raising concerns about the sustainability of reforms and agency commitment to maintaining standards without continuous supervision.",
