THE Presidency has unveiled a Citizens’ Delivery Tracker (CDT) to provide an efficient way for citizens to give feedback to the government through an app.
The announcement was made on Monday, April 8, by the President’s Special Adviser on Policy and Coordination, Hadiza Bala-Usman at the Go-Live event of the CDT held in Abuja.
“The platform is available as a web link (app.cdcu.gov.ng) and will be available as an app for download in the next few months,” said Bala-Usman.

Bala-Usman said Monday’s unveiling was the culmination of a months-long process since President Bola Tinubu announced plans for ministerial assessment at the cabinet retreat for ministers and heads of government agencies in November 2023.
In reaching the key performance indicators, the presidential aide explained that the CDCU held numerous bilateral meetings with ministries, departments and agencies within six weeks.
The eight priority areas of focus are reforming the economy to deliver sustained, inclusive growth, strengthening national security for peace and prosperity, boosting agriculture to achieve food security, and unlocking energy and natural resources for sustainable development.
Others are to enhance infrastructure and transportation as enablers of growth, focus on education, health, and social investment as essential pillars of development, accelerate diversification through industrialisation, digitisation, creative arts, manufacturing and innovation, and improve governance for effective service delivery.
