According to him, “Over the years, the Nigerian Public Service has been an integral and key part of Government, living up to expectation as it continues to provide the administrative service of design, formulation and putting government policies into action. It is the Public Service that ensures policy continuity and institutional coherence, thereby facilitating rapid attainment of national goals and sustainable development.


“I want to use this medium to specially recognize our courageous and hardworking essential public servants for their services amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic. They include people working in the Healthcare sectors, Delivery sectors, Sanitation sectors, Social welfare, Education, Transport, Law Enforcement, and all the public servants.


“They are the ones who continue to work amid the pandemic whereas many others take shelter at their various comfort zones. 

“You will all agree with me that the COVID 19 Pandemic has challenged everyone, including governance and its operation.


“Nevertheless, the Federal Government is committed to building a Public Service that is capable, efficient, open, inclusive, and accountable institutions, which are critical for sustainable growth and inclusive national development after COVID-19.The Federal Government’s E–government Master plan currently being implemented is innovation and technology pooled to deliver services.


“The E–government Master plan is intended to equip public servants with skills necessary to be effective, responsive and relevant in the digital age.

Africa’s economic growth has failed to generate sufficient jobs to match the increasing demand.


“It is expected that this forum today would provide the needed platform to convey Government Policies that require the buy-in of critical stakeholders as we commemorate the 2021 UN Public Service Day.


“I am deeply grateful to Mr. President, for the opportunity to serve as the Institutional platform for sustainable reform implementation and coordination, also the Secretary to the Government of the Federation who serves as Chairman of the Steering Committee on Reforms together with the Co-Chair, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation for their continued support towards the activities of the Bureau,” the DG added.
