Minister re-structutres departments For better performance

The Honorable Minister/Deputy Chairman National Planning Commission Dr. Shamsuddeen Usman, OFR has approved restructuring of the Commission’s mandate departments in order to enhance efficiency and better performance in the discharge of the functions of the Commission. Under the new arrangement, the former ten departments have now been fused in to six and a new department of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) has now been created bringing the number of the mandate departments to seven in a whole. A new unit, State Coordination has also been created to further facilitate official running of activities in the Commission. The six mandate departments of the Commission are: Administration, Finance, Macro-economic Analysis and Research, International Cooperation, Economic Growth, Social Development and Monitoring and Evaluation Department. The restructuring of the departments is in line with the Project PEAK which the Honorable Minster had unveiled in October last year with a view of reinvigorating the Commission to enhance its performance and boost the morale of the staff. The idea of Project PEAK came about during a retreat of the Commission held In Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State in October 2009 and the PEAK acronym stands as follows; P – productivity enhancement through welfare, E – efficiency in service, A- accountability in the delivery of service, K- Knowledge based organization. The Honorable Minister had stated at a parley with the staff of the Commission on ‘Project PEAK’ in October, 2010 that he would do his best to provide quality in service and better condition for staff. He stated that “although there is no better system anywhere in the world but there are better systems in many instances”
