Tinubu to Assess Ministers’ Performance as Second Anniversary Nears
As President Bola Tinubu’s administration approaches its second year in office, preparations are underway for a major review of ministerial performance. The exercise, which is being closely coordinated by the Central Results Delivery and Coordination Unit (CDCU), is expected to give the President a comprehensive picture of how his team has fared since taking office.
Sources within the presidency confirmed that back in April, each ministry was required to submit reports detailing their projects and initiatives. These submissions were uploaded through a secure platform managed by the CDCU, which has now completed its verification process.

According to an insider familiar with the review, “Each ministry was evaluated based on the goals they set for themselves. What we’re working with is what they promised to deliver.”
This review isn’t coming out of the blue. It follows a clear message from the President during last November’s Cabinet Retreat, where he stressed that performance would be closely monitored — and that underperformance wouldn’t be tolerated.

“If you’re doing the job, you have nothing to worry about,” Tinubu reportedly told his cabinet. “But if you fall short, we’ll reassess. And if there’s no result, you’ll have to step aside.”
Although there’s no official word yet on possible changes within the cabinet, insiders say this audit could play a key role in shaping decisions going forward — from appointments to project funding.
While ministers in high-impact sectors are believed to be under more intense scrutiny, there’s no indication that a reshuffle is imminent. Still, this marks the administration’s first full-scale performance audit since hitting the one-year milestone, and it’s expected to set the tone for what lies ahead.
The CDCU’s final report is expected to land on the President’s desk just before May 29 — offering a snapshot of how far the administration has come and where it may be headed next.
