President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is interested in the reform of the nation’s federal civil service due to the dwindling fortunes of the service and the need to reverse the trend.
He said this on Thursday in Abuja at the inauguration of the Cultural Change Video and Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (FCSSIP) 25 Documents and Award Ceremony.
The event with the theme, ‘Performance Management System (PMS): Impact on Productivity, was organised by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoCSF), as part of activities marking the 2022 Civil Service Week.
He was represented at the event by the FCT Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Musa Bello.
The president said that he had set up a presidential committee on salaries to harmonise salaries service-wide, as part of measures at improving the value proposition of the civil service.
Speaking earlier, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoCSF), Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, said the celebration aimed to highlight and share best practices to enable the service to reposition itself for enhanced performance.
The event among others also featured awards for 41 best serving civil servants across MDAs, with the cash award of N500, 000 each.
The federal government also awarded Mr Sunday Fanoiki of the Ministry of Police Affairs with a brand-new car (GS4) product, after a raffle draw among the top 10 outstanding contestants. (Daily Trust)
