First Year Ministerial Performance Review Retreat, at the State House this morning. Ministers, Heads of MDAs, senior government officials in attendance. VP @ProfOsinbajo presiding, President @MBuhari is in Niamey, Niger for the @ecowas_cedeao Meeting. #AsoVillaToday

VP, SGF, COS have arrived for the 2020 #CabinetRetreatNG.

The first one held when the Ministers assumed office in Aug 2019. Each Minister was assigned a list of priority projects and programs in line with 9 defined “priority areas.”

This Retreat will review progress since then.

Here’s how it’s worked over the last year: When each Minister took office a year ago, they were handed Ministerial Mandates that had to be Signed by the Minister and Perm Sec.
Each Min was then expected to cascade the Mandate to CEOs of parastatals under them. #CabinetRetreatNG

President’s Opening Speech will be delivered by Vice President @ProfOsinbajo. #CabinetRetreatNG

Ongoing: President’s Opening Speech, at the 2020 #CabinetRetreatNG
