The Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) has declared the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) as the “Best Performing Federal Government’s Agency in 2022”.

The director-general of the Bureau, Mr Arabi Ibrahim Dasuki, made this known during the presentation of the report and award of its 2022 Self-assessment Tool (SAT) to the management of the NLTF in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said during the 2022 self-validation assessment exercise of various federal government’s Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), the NLTF was found to be the best and overall agency in essential areas of responsibility and quality of work.

“Upon the Federal Government directives, the Bureau of Public Service Reforms in 2022 deployed its self-assessment tool (SAT) on National Lottery Trust Fund and various government agencies.

“The overall objective was to identify NLTF’s strengths and weaknesses; as the first step towards ensuring the agency is fit for purpose and optimal performance.

“At the end of 2022 self and validation assessments and in-depth analysis of National Lottery Trust Fund operations, processes and systems. NLTF performance is 75.24 per cent  and therefore emerged a Gold Level organisation that exceeds expectations,” Dasuki said.

He said that the NLTF performance constantly exceeded expectations in all essential areas of its responsibility and quality of work adjudged to be above average as its main organisational goals were met in the period under review.

Dasuki emphasised that what they discovered during the assessment exercise in NLTF was quite impressive and encouraging.

According to him, the findings showed that NLTF operates a current strategic plan with high-level output aligned to approved budgets, and it has financial management systems and procedures that comply with relevant government accounting policies and standards.
