Tracking President Bola Tinubu will be at best through optimized digital tools. Anything else will be a poor showing.
The president might look old but he seems digitally inclined and determined to keep up with the knotty dealings of national government. Nigerians will be carried along in his progress reports, he has promptly assured.
At a recent cabinet retreat that held in Abuja, President Tinubu expressed his willingness to test his on resolve by asking Nigerians to monitor his progress from the comfort of their homes.
To this end, the President has directed the reactivation of The Presidential Project Delivery tracker, a digital tool that empowers citizens to monitor federal government infrastructural projects across the country in real-time.
He underscored the necessity of affording every Nigerian the opportunity to oversee and report on project progress throughout the nation.
Leveraging Advanced Digital Innovations
President Tinubu has left no room for ambiguity in his commitment to transparency and citizen engagement.
He also directed his Special Adviser on Policy and Coordination, Hadiza Bala Usman, to swiftly reinvigorate the tracking system, harnessing advanced digital innovations to deliver real-time oversight capabilities at their fullest potential.
A New Vision for Nigeria
At the heart of this initiative lies a renewed vision for Nigeria.
President Tinubu has redefined the priority objectives of his administration to address the critical challenges facing the nation.
The priorities are:
1. Reform the economy to deliver sustained inclusive growth.
2. Strengthen national security for peace and prosperity.
3. Boost agriculture to achieve food security.
4. Unlock energy and natural resources for sustainable development.
5. Enhance infrastructure and transportation as enablers of growth.
6. Focus on education, health, and social investment as essential pillars of development.
7. Accelerate diversification through industrialization, digitization, creative arts, manufacturing, and innovation.
8. Improve governance for effective service delivery.
Data-Driven Governance
Furthermore, President Tinubu underscored the vital role of data in governance.
His administration is committed to being data-driven to track progress and ensure transparency among citizens. Data is considered the lifeblood of policy-driven governance, offering effective solutions to the challenges at hand.
President Tinubu emphasized that all authorities in his administration must demonstrate diligence, innovative thinking, commitment, and an unrelenting focus on results.
In his words:
“Data is the lifeblood of effective governance. It enables us to understand the challenges we face so that we can design and implement effective solutions as well as monitor and evaluate our progress. Without data, we are flying blind.”
The Renewed Hope Agenda
Each objective outlined by President Tinubu is part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which extends beyond economic growth.
It’s about building a more just and equitable society for all Nigerians. The agenda focuses on creating jobs, improving education and healthcare, and reducing poverty, ensuring that all Nigerians have the opportunity to succeed.
The President acknowledges the substantial work ahead but expresses confidence in achieving these goals.
He emphasizes the importance of tangible results and effective solutions rather than excuses or procrastination.
The President’s message is clear:
it’s time to put aside personal ambitions and uphold the performance bond signed, working collaboratively to build a better future for Nigeria.
President Tinubu’s vision and commitment to digitize his governance is a journey that demands dedication, innovation, and a collective focus to achieve the long haul of goals.
The path ahead may be challenging, but with a strong team in place and an unwavering commitment to progress, the future of Nigeria looks promising.
As President Tinubu stated:
“The challenge before us demands that we must put aside personal ambitions and focus on adhering to the performance bond we have all signed up to on this day. These performance bonds represent a contract we must uphold.”
Indeed, the path to a better Nigeria begins with tracking the momentum of President Tinubu and actively participating in the journey to renewal and prosperity.
