Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has topped the list of President Bola Tinubu’s 12 performing ministers.
This is as the Economic Confidential released the list of identified ministers as the “top 12 performers” in the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu to rate ministers with KPI
Following the review of the current members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), the publication highlighted their achievements and efforts since their resumption of office.
Recall that Tinubu has earlier said that Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) would be used to assess the performance of the ministers and their ministries.
The report reads in part:
“Some Ministers have shown competence in their respective duties. Beyond pragmatic initiatives and impactful programmes, the performing ministers also deploy effective media relations and strategic stakeholder engagements.”
Below are the names of the ministers listed:
Nyesom Wike
The former governor of Rivers state was rated for establishing the FCT Civil Service Commission. Issuing completion orders to contractors to complete rail, township and road projects.
Also, Wike was ranked for prioritising security measures, generating revenue for the FCT and maintaining the Abuja master plan.
