A concerned citizen, Tobi Bernard Thomas, has tasked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to strengthen monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to ensure the effectiveness of his initiatives.
Nigeria’s progress, he said, can be achieved through self-reliance, harnessing our internal resources and capacities to drive development.
This was contained in an open letter to the President, dated 3rd November, 2025, where he commended the President’s efforts to drive national development and security.
In the open letter, Thomas highlighted the importance of self-reliance, collaboration, and innovation in achieving Nigeria’s progress.
According to him, “collaboration among government, private sector, and citizens is also crucial, as is encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship to drive economic growth and solve societal challenges.”
Thomas also recommended that establishing a robust monitoring and evaluation framework enhances capacity building for personnel involved in M&E, and fostering stakeholder engagement with citizens, civil society, and the private sector.
He emphasized that President Tinubu should prioritize the establishment of a robust monitoring and evaluation framework.
“This will enable real-time tracking, impact assessment, and accountability in governance, ultimately leading to improved effectiveness of policies and programs, data-driven decision-making, and increased transparency and accountability in governance.” he emphasized.
