The Head of Service said this during an interaction with top management staff who paid a courtesy visit in her office.
“If we are to achieve the goals of the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, it is essential that we foster unity and rally every member of the Civil Service to work with diligence, integrity, accountability, and, above all, a focus on the citizens of Nigeria, who are the true beneficiaries of our service,” she said.
She highlighted the importance of celebrating the patriotic contributions of civil servants.
“It should be standard practice to celebrate and recognize those who have rendered exceptional service.
“We are working on a Recognition Policy and Guidelines to ensure that Civil Servants are acknowledged and celebrated appropriately and in a timely manner,” she said.
She said the rewards and recognition system provided for in the Public Service Rules 2021 was a key component of the 6th pillar of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025.
She said the system was designed to reward significant contributions by civil servants to create role models, promote positive behaviours and support the attainment of the goals and objectives of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
The Permanent Secretary (Common Services Office) in the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mr Raymond Omachi, expressed gratitude for the Head of Service for her leadership and prayed for continued wisdom and divine guidance as she leads the ongoing efforts to reposition the civil service for greater efficiency and excellence.
