The National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) has begun steps to improve how its social programmes are measured and delivered to Nigerians. The agency held a capacity-building workshop on Wednesday, 14 January 2026, to strengthen result-driven performance assessment of its 2026 deliverables and indicators.
The workshop focused on reviewing and adopting the Central Results Delivery Coordinating Unit (CRDCU) reporting framework as applicable to the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction and NSIPA. It also identified and validated the agency’s high-impact deliverables and performance indicators for 2026.
The session brought together Programme and Departmental Managers and CRDCU focal officers to discuss deliverables that will drive the implementation of Presidential priorities and ministerial mandates under the Renewed Hope Agenda. Participants also reviewed operational challenges, encouraged teamwork among departments, and explored solutions to improve the impact of government programmes that directly affect citizens, such as GEEP, N-Power, and the National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme.
Declaring the event open, Mr. Hamza Baba, National Programme Manager for GEEP, who represented the Acting National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer, said the workshop was a vital step to ensure all NSIPA activities remain focused on results and public impact.
Speaking during the session, Dr. Binta Ibrahim, Head of Planning, Research and Statistics (PRS), described the CRDCU framework as more than a compliance tool. “The CRDCU template provides a clear framework to measure performance across ministries, agencies and parastatals. Targets are not just numbers on paper; they are commitments that must be clear, measurable and achievable and must translate into tangible impact for citizens,” she stated. She urged participants to use the workshop to promote accountability, innovation, and excellence within the agency.
Senior officials present included Abdullahi Maikudi, Director of Finance and Accounts; Dr. Binta Ibrahim, Deputy Director and Head of PRS; Akinyemi Olumide, Deputy Director of Finance and Accounts; Mr. Attari M. Hope, Deputy Director and Head of Information and Public Relations; Dr. Madu Uba, Assistant Director, N-Power; Dr. Princess Aderemi F. Adebowale, National Programme Manager, Renewed Hope National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme; and Aishat Alubankudi, National Programme Manager, Grant for Vulnerable Groups.
Participants agreed to finalize the 2026 deliverables and indicators for submission through the CRDCU reporting cycle and establish follow-up systems to monitor progress and address identified bottlenecks.
