The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) achieved another significant milestone with the formal signing of the Employee Performance Management System (EPMS) contract on 5th October 2025 at the Commission’s Corporate Headquarters in Abuja.
The EPMS signing ceremony represents a key stride under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s (GCFR) Renewed Hope Agenda, reinforcing the Federal Government’s commitment to enhancing accountability, transparency, and efficiency in public service delivery.
The event was attended by the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer, Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote, departmental and unit heads, as well as representatives from Triple Edge Consult, the implementing partner.

Speaking on behalf of Triple Edge Consult, Team Lead, Barrister Olusegun Adekunle, emphasised the strategic value of the PMS framework, explaining that it provides measurable, transparent, and structured performance parameters for government agencies. According to him, the system will enable NIMC to efficiently monitor progress, achieve set targets, and deliver quality services to Nigerians.
The EPMS, which is meticulously aligned with NIMC’s mandate, introduces a structured approach to performance measurement, monitoring, and evaluation. With clearly defined indicators and performance metrics, it is designed to foster accountability, productivity, and improved service delivery throughout the Commission.
The DG/CEO, Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote, in her remarks, commended the initiative and called for renewed dedication from all staff to ensure the system’s successful implementation.
