Most Tinubu Ministers Perform Poorly in Q1 Assessment — Insider Sources

According to a report by The PUNCH, a new round of ministerial scorecards is being finalized by the Central Results Delivery and Coordination Unit (CDCU), the agency tasked with tracking the performance of government ministries. The assessment, which spans January to March 2025, is expected to land on the President’s desk any moment.

Sources cited by The PUNCH revealed that while a few ministers recorded commendable achievements, the majority failed to meet critical benchmarks outlined in the performance bonds they signed in October 2023.

“The one minister who has done fairly well is the minister of works and a few others,” one official reportedly said. “When you look at the assessment of several others, they performed poorly in several critical metrics.”

The scorecards were compiled after each ministry uploaded records of their activities and deliverables to a secure CDCU portal. A verification team, led by CDCU head Hadiza Bala-Usman, has since been reviewing the evidence and assigning performance scores.

Although President Tinubu is not expected to reshuffle his cabinet immediately, the findings are intended to inform his discussions with ministers in the months ahead, especially as his administration crosses the mid-term mark on May 29.

One Presidency official noted, “Scores have been assigned based on the findings. The final report for all the ministries is meant for the President.”
