The ActionAid Nigeria (AAN) has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to incorporate clear and measurable indicators of achievement for each of his 8-point agenda.
The AAN Country Director, Andrew Mamedu, said Sunday in Abuja that the president’s emphasis on the urgency, innovation, and the commitment to deliver quality standard of life to all Nigerians is commendable.
He said the organisation commended President Tinubu for his visionary leadership and unveiling of the 8-Point Agenda, a crucial step towards addressing the pressing issues affecting the poor and excluded, especially women.
“The 8-Point Agenda, encompassing critical areas such as food security, ending poverty, economic growth, job creation, access to capital, improved security, a fair playing field, rule of law, and the fight against corruption, reflects the aspirations of the citizens for a more inclusive and prosperous society,” he said.

“However, we urge President Tinubu and the federal government to incorporate clear and measurable indicators of achievement for each agenda. Transparent and quantifiable milestones are essential to ensure effective monitoring and evaluation of progress, which, in turn, will enhance accountability and public trust,” he said.
He also urged President Tinubu to encourage all tiers of government responsible for implementing the 8-Point Agenda to partner with the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) actively.
“ActionAid Nigeria is optimistic about the positive impacts that the 8-Point Agenda can have on the lives of Nigerians and the organisation looks forward to working closely with the government and fellow CSOs to turn these ambitious plans into tangible actions that will improve the well-being of Nigerians.
“ActionAid is also committed to playing its part in this process and we are open to collaborative partnerships with other CSOs to ensure that the benefits of the 8-Point Agenda reach those who need them the most,” Mamedu added.
