President Muhammadu Buhari has launched the National Monitoring and Evaluation platform, EYEMARK.

The president launched the project monitoring website with its accompanying mobile app shortly before the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting at the council chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He noted that the federal government could no longer depend on its handful of Monitoring and Evaluation teams to oversee the vast number of infrastructure projects spread nationwide.

He said that given that his administration has invested in infrastructure projects more than any other before, it is only fitting to create adequate avenues for close monitoring by citizens.

In his address earlier, the Minister of State, Budget and National Planning, Clem Agba, said EYEMARK would empower citizens and Civil Society Organizations to monitor capital projects in real-time to promote accountability.
