…Says MOD Has The Infrastructure To Make Both Systems Work Effectively
Dr. Ibrahim Abubakar Kana, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence, has inaugurated the Project Steering Committee and the Project Implementation Technical Team for the Ministry’s Performance Management System (PMS) and Enterprise Content Management.
Dr. Kana urged members of both committees to ensure that their efforts enhance the Ministry’s reputation and performance, according to a release by Henshaw Ogubike, Director (Information and Public Relations), Federal Ministry of Defence.
Inaugurating the committee at the Ship House in Abuja, the Permanent Secretary stated that the Ministry of Defence possesses both the infrastructure and skilled human resources necessary to ensure the project’s success.
“We have experts in the Ministry who can drive this process. Our Directors and Deputy Directors from various departments are well-equipped to lead and cascade the processes to other staff within the Ministry,” he said.
He, therefore, called on the Ministry’s Performance Management System (PMS) Champions to demonstrate unwavering commitment and excellence in driving service delivery and achieving set targets in line with the ministry’s mandate towards fulfilling the renewed hope agenda.
While he acknowledged that there might be initial hiccups, he charged the PMS Champions to be resilient in overcoming the initial challenges that may arise with the programme’s rollout and re-emphasized the need for a continuous training.
“In MOD, training is not going to be an issue. We can afford to be organizing training on PMS and ECM every week,” he assured.
The permanent secretary further emphasised that the PMS and ECM Champions are expected to lead the charge towards ensuring efficiency, productivity, and accountability across the Ministry, with the ultimate goal of achieving total compliance with government performance standards.
