Mohammad Ismail Jabiyullah, adviser to the prime minister on public administration with ministerial status, has directed that Annual Development Programme projects under the Ministry of Public Administration be implemented swiftly within their scheduled timeframes. He issued the instruction on Monday while addressing a meeting reviewing July implementation progress for the ministry’s projects in the 2026-27 fiscal year. State Minister for Public Administration Mohammad Abdul Bari, MP, was present.

Jabiyullah said the physical and financial progress of ongoing projects must be reviewed regularly. Problems affecting implementation should be identified quickly and necessary action taken. He highlighted infrastructure development, capacity building for BCS cadre officers, modernization of training centres and digitization among the priorities of projects being implemented under the ministry.

He said that if a project nears the end of its approved duration and needs more time, an extension should be pursued through proper procedures. However, he said no increase in project costs would be allowed when extending a project’s duration. At the start of the meeting, Jabiyullah unveiled publications including the Organisation and Management Guidelines 2026, the first and second volumes of the O&M Manual, and Government Employees Statistics 2025.
