This milestone aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s (GCFR) Renewed Hope Agenda, reinforcing the Federal Government’s ongoing drive to enhance accountability, transparency, and efficiency in public service delivery.
The signing ceremony was attended by NIMC’s Director-General/Chief Executive Officer, Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote, departmental and unit heads, and representatives from Triple Edge Consult the implementing partner.

He stated that the system will enhance NIMC’s ability to track progress, meet targets, and deliver quality services to Nigerians.
The EPMS introduced a systematic approach to performance measurement, monitoring, and evaluation. With defined indicators and clear metrics, the system is designed to drive efficiency, foster accountability, and boost service delivery across the Commission.
In her remarks, DG/CEO Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote praised the initiative and called on all staff to embrace the new system with dedication.
