The Commissioner emphasized the significance of setting measurable goals, asserting, “We must monitor progress and ensure outcomes that transform lives and communities.”
Describing the tracker as a “compass for success,” he highlighted three key questions it addresses:

The Kogi State Performance Indicator Tracker enables real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making, effectively bridging the gap between planning and implementation.
