 FG Sets Out Framework for Maintenance, Preservation of Public Assets Nationwide 

 

*  unveiled innovative Fpam smart card embedded with a QR Code to provide a One - Stop - Shop access to activities 

 

The Federal Government has unveiled a comprehensive framework aimed at strengthening the maintenance and preservation of public assets across the country.

 

The initiative is being driven by the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development through its Department of Federal Public Assets Maintenance (FPAM), which has developed a framework containing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure effective, uniform, and sustainable maintenance of federal public assets nationwide.

 

As part of the rollout, the Ministry has commenced engagements with Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to facilitate the implementation of the SOPs, providing a harmonised approach to asset maintenance and preservation across the Federal Public Service.

 

FPAM, a department under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, is statutorily responsible for the oversight of maintenance functions of federal government assets. The department was established through Presidential Executive Order No. 11, which was officially gazetted on April 6, 2022.

 

To ensure seamless implementation of the framework, FPAM has introduced and distributed a set of compliance forms and a comprehensive maintenance manual to MDAs. These documents form part of a certification and oversight process designed to ensure proper documentation, traceability, accountability, and alignment with established maintenance standards and protocols.

 

Speaking on the initiative, the Director of FPAM, Arc. Chioma Wogu- Ogbonna  explained that the objective of the framework is to institutionalise a proactive maintenance culture within MDAs, prevent premature deterioration of government assets, and promote value-for-money through structured and standardised maintenance practices.

 

She noted that the SOPs and compliance tools were developed to reflect measurable outcomes, quality assurance, and consistency in asset management across government institutions.

 

Arc. Chioma appreciaed the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Shuaib Belgore for his unwavering leadership and institutional support, describing the initiative as a major breakthrough in the Federal Government’s effort to safeguard public assets nationwide.

 

According to the FPAM Director,  the support of the Permanent Secretary has been instrumental in translating the department’s mandate into actionable policies and operational frameworks.

 

In his remarks, Dr. Belgore reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to strengthening asset maintenance culture within the public service, stressing that effective preservation of public assets is critical to sustainability, service delivery, and prudent management of public resources.

 

He emphasised the need for Permanent Secretaries across MDAs to work closely with FPAM and ensure that agencies under their supervision align with the department’s regulatory and operational mandates as the central instrument for public assets preservation.

 

To further drive awareness and operational efficiency, FPAM has also unveiled innovative tools, including a smart card embedded with a QR Code, which provides instant access to the department’s activities and mandate on an internet-based platform. In addition, the department has rebranded its operational bus with the FPAM logo to support outreach, monitoring, and engagement activities nationwide.

 

In recognition of his leadership and support, the FPAM Department presented an Award Plaque to the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, underscoring his role in advancing the maintenance framework and positioning FPAM to unlock its vast untapped potential.

 

The Ministry reiterated that the successful implementation of the framework would ensure the longevity of government assets, promote accountability, and entrench a sustainable maintenance culture for national development.

This is the year Nigerians will look back on and ask what the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has delivered,” he said.   The minister explained that, despite funding challenges in 2025, the ministry was able to appreciably achieve milestones in both its presidential priorities and ministerial deliverables, including reforms in land administration, and delivery of Renewed Hope Cities in Karsana Abuja, Kano and Lagos, which are due for commissioning soon.   He urged the staff to step up efforts and commitment, saying " for us to achieve this much despite the 2025 funding constraints, we can achieve more this year when funding is made available"   Dangiwa disclosed the firm commitments made by the Federal government to address funding gaps and clear outstanding liabilities in 2026.   Accordingly, the minister urged the Directors  of the departments of Public Private Partnership (PPP) and Public Buildings to intensify monitoring of various sites to ensure effective and timely delivery of projects, stressing that Nigerians expect affordable and decent housing.   The minister further charged heads of departments to ensure that contractors that have been mobilised are given clear timelines for project completion.   “You need to engage these contractors closely by ensuring that those mobilised return to site and are properly monitored, especially from the controller’s side,” he emphasised.   He noted that the ministry must consolidate its legacy in 2026 in order to showcase its achievements to Nigerians and the international community, calling for the cooperation and inputs of staff to help the Federal Government achieve its Renewed Hope Housing Agenda.   On Renewed Hope Cities, the Minister disclosed that three additional locations namely Maiduguri, Enugu and Port Harcourt will come on stream, bringing the total number to six, alongside the existing projects in Lagos, Abuja and Kano.   Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, stated that the departments of Public Private Partnership and Public Buildings are expected to meet their targets in 2026, assuring them of needed support to achieve their goals.   Dr. Belgore noted that maximum publicity programmes would be deployed to showcase the successes and achievements as part of the administration’s scorecard in 2026, adding that Nigerians are eager to see improved Renewed Hope housing delivery ...

WELCOME ADDRESS BY THE DIRECTOR, PLANNING, RESEARCH AND STATISTICS, FEDERAL MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, AT THE MINISTERIAL RETREAT ON PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HELD AT SANDRALIA HOTEL, JABI, ABUJA – 3RD JULY, 2025

Protocol:

The Honourable Minister,

The Honourable Minister of State,

The Permanent Secretary,

Directors and Heads of Departments and Units,

Esteemed Resource Persons,

Distinguished Colleagues,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is with great honour and a deep sense of responsibility that I welcome you all to this Ministerial Retreat on the Performance Management System (PMS), convened in accordance with the directive of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, as outlined in the circular of 11th March, 2025.

This retreat is a critical platform for consolidating our collective resolve to institutionalize a performance-driven culture across the Ministry. The PMS is not merely a procedural obligation, it is a transformational framework for aligning individual, departmental, and institutional output with Ministerial priorities and national development goals.

In the past year, the Ministry has recorded remarkable progress in embedding the PMS. Among the key milestones achieved are:

  1. The successful cascading and signing of the 2024 Performance Contracts from the institutional to the individual level;
  2. The development and tracking of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) directly tied to Ministerial Deliverables;
  3. The conduct of quarterly performance reviews with timely reports submitted to the Central Delivery Coordination Unit (CDCU); and
  4. The consistent observance of PMS Day, as mandated by the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, fostering accountability and continuous tracking of outcomes.

These efforts have created a strong foundation for the 2025 cycle. Accordingly, this retreat seeks to:

  1. Review our 2024 performance to identify critical success factors and constraints;
  2. Agree on performance expectations and KPIs for 2025;
  3. Facilitate the signing of the 2025 Performance Contracts across all levels;
  4. Develop actionable Individual Development Plans to address capacity gaps; and
  5. Reaffirm our readiness for seamless monitoring and timely quarterly reporting, as required.

It is important to reiterate that non-compliance with PMS guidelines, as emphasized by the Head of Service will attract sanctions. We are firmly in the era of accountability and result-based management. The business-as-usual approach is no longer acceptable.

Permit me at this juncture to specially acknowledge and commend the Honourable Minister for his visionary leadership and unwavering drive in repositioning the Ministry as a key enabler of affordable and accessible housing across the nation. His bold reforms and strategic initiatives have continued to inspire impactful programmes in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President.

Equally, I wish to appreciate the Honourable Minister of State for his strong policy support and active engagement in the implementation of the Ministry’s mandates. His commitment to inclusive development and results-based governance has significantly bolstered the Ministry’s reform trajectory.

I must also sincerely commend the Permanent Secretary for his exemplary administrative leadership, dedication to performance management reforms, and consistent support in ensuring the timely delivery of Ministerial priorities.

Furthermore, I acknowledge the strategic guidance of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation and the Permanent Secretary, Career Management Office, for championing the implementation and oversight of the Performance Management System across the Federal Public Service.

Distinguished colleagues, the responsibility of sustaining and building on this momentum lies with each one of us. I urge you to approach this retreat with open minds, constructive engagement, and a shared commitment to innovation and service excellence.

Let us work together to ensure the 2025 PMS cycle is implemented not only efficiently but in a manner that sets new standards for performance in the public service.

I wish us all a productive and impactful retreat.

Thank you and God bless.

SPECIAL ADDRESS BY ARC. AHMED MUSA DANGIWA, HONOURABLE MINISTER OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, AT THE MINISTERIAL RETREAT ON PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND SIGNING OF 2025 PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS HELD ON THURSDAY, 3RD JULY 2025, AT SANDRALIA HOTEL, JABI, ABUJA

Theme: Accelerating Service Delivery through Performance Contracting and Strategic Alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda

PROTOCOLS


The Permanent Secretary,
Directors and Heads of Departments and Units,
Our distinguished colleagues from the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation and the Central Delivery Coordinating Unit,
 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

  1. Let me begin by once again warmly welcoming everyone to this important Ministerial Retreat and the official signing of our 2025 Performance Contracts. This event provides us a moment to reflect, to refocus, and to recommit ourselves to the responsibility we have been entrusted with.
  2. His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has laid out a bold and ambitious vision through the Renewed Hope Agenda. As a Ministry, we play a key role in delivering on that promise—through housing, urban infrastructure, and land reforms. That responsibility is heavy, and rightly so. The expectations from the public—and from the President—are high.
  3. As you are all aware we started off very strong but the journey has not been easy. One of the major hurdles we have faced is funding. Budget releases have been slow, and we are all aware of the broader financial pressures the government is grappling with. These constraints have affected project timelines and limited what we could deliver.
  4. But that is exactly why we need to think differently. We can not  afford to rely solely on traditional funding methods. We need to be innovative. We need to build strong partnerships—especially through Public-Private Partnerships. PPPs give us the opportunity to tap into private sector resources, unlock capital, and bring in expertise to get things done faster and better.
  5. As you are all already aware, our 2025 deliverables are clear and targeted. They include:
    1. Delivering 20,000 housing units across the country;
    2. Creating incentives to attract private investment into local building materials production;
    3. Expanding land registration and documentation programmes to ensure security of tenure;
    4. Setting up a National Land Commission to anchor and coordinate land reforms;
    5. And fully rolling out a performance-based management system across all departments and units.
  6. These are real targets tied to national priorities and the President’s Performance Bond—which, as you know, is being closely tracked through the dashboards and scorecards developed by the CDCU.
  7. I want to take a moment to appreciate the support of the Central Delivery Coordinating Unit and the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation. Your guidance and collaboration have been invaluable. But more importantly, the insights and systems you’ve introduced must now reflect in how we work every day.
  8. I also want to thank all of you—the staff and leadership of this Ministry—for your efforts so far. I know the sacrifices many of you make daily to keep things moving, especially in these tough times. But the truth is, we need to dig even deeper. We need more discipline, more creativity, and an even stronger commitment to delivering results.
  9. So as we sign these performance contracts today, let us treat them not as formalities, but as a renewed pledge—to serve, to deliver, and to keep pushing, no matter the obstacles.
  10. I remain fully committed to leading this charge, and I am counting on each and every one of you to do your part. Let’s move together—with focus, with integrity, and with a shared sense of purpose.
  11. On that note, I have the honour to formally declare this Ministerial Retreat on Performance Management and the Signing of the 2025 Performance Contracts open.
  12. Thank you, and God bless the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.


God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
