Tambuwal commits advisers to performance bond

Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State has committed all his Special Advisers on a `performance bond’ to ensure productivity in the running of state affairs.

Tambuwal’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, made the disclosure to newsmen on Wednesday in Sokoto.

Imam said that the stand followed a meeting held by the governor with the recently-appointed advisers.

He added that committing the appointees to a bond would enhance accountability, productivity and transparency in governance.

“The governor tasked all the advisers to develop detailed and documented strategies and operational plans to guide the implementation of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in their areas of responsibilities.

“They are to also facilitate monitoring and evaluation units to support the implementation of plans, tracking and reporting performance on the agreed indicators.

“He made it clear for them to have understanding of the mandate of their respective agencies, strategic and operational planning and the need to focus on results delivery, rather than on inputs, activities and processes, for development to be of relevance and benefit to the citizens,” Imam said.

According to him, the governor urged the appointees to make wide consultations in order to properly gauge the needs of the people.

The media aide said that the governor also urged the special advisers to make the welfare of the people their priority.
