Presidency orders fresh appraisal of ministers, aides


AS part of the desire to ensure service delivery at the federal level, the presidency is said to have ordered a review of the performance of his ministers in the first six months of their tenure.
Sources close to the administration said on Wednesday that President Goodluck Jonathan might have given the go-ahead for a thorough analysis of the performance of his ministers, especially in the first six months of his administration.
Sources confirmed that there was an understanding by the presidency that the political aides, as well as the ministers are on a six-month probation when they were appointed starting from June last year.
It was understood that while the Federal Government is undertaking a review of all agencies of government to isolate areas of overlap as part of the plan to rationalise ministries and parastatals, the government has also decided to rate the performance of his ministers to ensure that the transformation agenda is on course.

Sources also confirmed that the president was not bothered about removing anyone if it was confirmed that his administration was suffering as a result of a appointee’s incompetence or inactions.
In another development, President Jonathan is set to export his administration’s transformation agenda to the forthcoming World Economic Summit meeting scheduled for Davos, between January 27 and 28.
