Head of the Civil Service of the Federation HCSF, Didi Walson-Jack, has sought the collaboration with the Bureau of Public Service Reform, BPSR, to boost ongoing reforms in the public service across the country.
According to the HCSF, such collaboration was essential towards building a public service that works efficiently, responsive to the people’s needs, and supports the Federal Government’s vision for national development.
Walson-Jack made that call during a courtesy visit by the Management of the BPSR led by its Director-General, Dasuki Ibrahim Arabi, in Abuja, according to a statement issued at the weekend by Eno Olotu, Director, Information and Public Relations.
Highlighting the importance of synergies between the two institutions in driving meaningful reforms in the public sector, Mrs Walson-Jack emphasised that the collaboration would address existing challenges in the civil service, promote transparency, improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of reform initiatives in Nigeria’s public service, and strengthen governance structures.
The HCSF noted that an effective partnership with the BPSR will improve service delivery, implement modern management practices, and foster accountability in the system.
Walson-Jack urged BPSR to sustain its engagement with Nigerians as primary stakeholders to understand their expectations for improved service delivery and customer satisfaction better, as they deserve the best.
Earlier in his remarks, the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reform highlighted the importance of joint efforts in reforming the public sector. He assured that the BPSR is dedicated to partnering with the OHCSF to enhance civil servants’ capacity and ensure the delivery of quality services to citizens.
“The BPSR is ready to work closely with the OHCSF to ensure that reform initiatives are effectively implemented, creating a public service that is more efficient, accountable, and citizen-centred,” he stated.
He further explained that the partnership will bring about the necessary changes to improve the public sector performance and contribute to the country’s overall progress.
