The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has emphasised that the Performance Management System(PMS) is playing a critical role in delivering the government’s housing mandate.
The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Alhaji Ahmed Dangiwa, said this at the Ministerial Retreat on Performance Management System(PMS) and signing of the 2025 Director’s Performance Contract in Abuja on Thursday.
The theme of the retreat is “Accelerating Service Delivery through Performance Contracting and Strategic Alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda”.
Dangiwa explained that the Presidential Performance Bond signed by all ministers was a contract with Nigerians, adding that it heightened public expectation and direct presidential oversight of results.
According to him, PMS is monitored through performance dashboards and scorecards developed by the Central Delivery Coordinating Unit (CDCU) under the Office of the Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination.
“As a Ministry, our 2025 deliverables are therefore clear, measurable, and imperative.
“They include: the construction of 20,000 housing units nationwide, as part of the Renewed Hope Housing Programme; and the development of fiscal incentives to attract private investors into local production of building materials and components.
“It also includes deepening and expansion of land registration and documentation programmes to secure land tenure and enable investment.”
Dangiwa added that the deliverables included the establishment of a National Land Commission to institutionalise land reforms and drive coordinated land administration nationally and full implementation of PMS in all departments.
According to the minister, these are not aspirational goals, they are concrete deliverables, each tied directly to national priorities and Presidential mandates.
“With two years now behind us, we have entered what I often refer to as the “Era of Evidence” a phase where the success of governance is measured not by policy intentions, but by tangible outcomes and verified results.
“President Bola Tinubu, has articulated a bold and inclusive vision for a Renewed Hope Agenda, one that promises dignity, opportunity, prosperity, and decent shelter for all Nigerians. Our Ministry is central to this agenda.”
Dangiwa said through housing development, land reforms, urban planning, and regulatory innovation, the ministry was positioned to unlock not just homes, but hope, jobs, equity, security, and national pride.
