President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday launched the National Monitoring and Evaluation platform, named EYEMARK.
Buhari launched the project monitoring website (www.eyemark.ng) with its accompanying mobile app shortly before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting at the council chambers, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said that the app is for monitoring and evaluation of government projects.

The President said the federal government can no longer depend on its handful of Monitoring and Evaluation teams to oversee the vast number of infrastructure projects spread nationwide.
He said, given that his administration has invested in infrastructure projects more than any other before it, it is only fitting to create adequate avenues for close monitoring by citizens.
According to him, this will close the existing gaps and promote citizens’ participation in governance.
Buhari also blamed the spate of corruption on the poor implementation of infrastructure projects across the country.
With EYEMARK, the President said;
The status of projects, the total amount appropriated and dispensed so far are now available in the public space.
He urged Ministries, Departments and Agencies to cooperate with the coordinating ministry, Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning to avail the required information to be captured on the platform.
