FG Demands Accountability from MDAs Under Tinubu's Leadership

The Federal Government has issued a warning to Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) regarding non-performance, stressing the importance of accountability and measurable results in alignment with President Bola Tinubu’s zero-tolerance policy on inefficiency. Princess Zahrah Mustapha Audu, the Director-General of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, delivered this message during the MDA High-Level Strategic Engagement and Press Briefing organized by the Federal Ministry of Finance in Abuja.

The event focused on “MDA Data Collection & Harmonisation” and included discussions on institutional performance and compliance with government reforms. Audu presented findings from the Business Environment Enhancement Programme Accelerator, noting that while 16 MDAs fully implemented evaluated reforms, a decline in responsiveness was observed after active monitoring ceased.

She reiterated that ongoing monitoring mechanisms, including mystery shopping and a live performance tracker, would ensure MDAs remain accountable. The Federal Ministry of Finance will consider agency performance in its dealings, reinforcing the government's commitment to delivering improved services to citizens and businesses.
