"We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity.

RMAFC CHAIRMAN CHAMPIONS DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION, TRAINS STAFF ON PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PMS)


The Chairman, Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Dr. Mohammed Bello Shehu, OFR, has reaffirmed the Commission’s resolve to embrace digital transformation for improved productivity and service delivery.


Speaking at the opening ceremony of a training on Performance Management System (PMS) for staff of the Commission, Dr. Shehu, represented by Hon. Ismail Mohammed Agaka, Federal Commissioner representing Kwara State, said the new PMS would replace the old annual performance evaluation report. He added that automation and digital tools will streamline processes, minimise errors, and make the analog system a thing of the past.


He urged staff to adapt to the changes. He said, “if you do not shake into the system, the system will likely shake you out.” He further advised participants to adjust their mindset and attitude to embrace the new changes coming in the next few months.


Also addressing the participants, the Secretary to the Commission, Mr. Nwaeze Joseph Okechukwu who described RMAFC as one of the nation’s strategic institutions, explained that the training would ensure that officers experience digital transformation and develop new skills. He therefore encouraged staff to learn, unlearn, and relearn while  maintaining good dressing and the culture of punctuality to promote a professional and respectful work environment.


In his goodwill message, the PMS Consultant from Reliefline Nigeria Limited, Mr. Emmanuel Ohiro commended the initiative. He said  “This workshop is a good idea, and I urge you to take it seriously as it will improve your service delivery.”


The training, organised by the Administration and Human Resources Department in collaboration with Reliefline Nigeria Limited, commenced on Tuesday, 16th September 2025, and will run daily until Wednesday, 24th September 2025.
