Speaking in Abuja, ActionAid Nigeria’s Country Director, Andrew Mamedu stated that: ‘‘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,” buy however urged the President and the Federal Government to incorporate clear and measurable indicators of achievement for each agenda, insisting that transparent and quantifiable milestones are essential to ensure effective monitoring and evaluation of progress, which, in turn, will enhance accountability and public trust.
ActionAid Nigeria also called upon President Tinubu to encourage all tiers of government responsible for implementing the 8-Point Agenda to partner with the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) actively, noting that “CSOs possess valuable expertise, community rootedness, and the ability to mobilise citizens for effective engagement in the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of these crucial initiatives. 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.”
