Civil Service will improve if workers are taken care of – HoS Yemi-Esan

The Head of the Federal Civil Service of the Federation (HoSF), Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, has noted that there is always improved performance when civil servants are well taken care of.

The HoS stated this when she paid an unscheduled visit to the Federal Ministry of Justice, alongside her team of Transformative Permanent Secretaries in the Office and a few from other Ministries.

The surprise visit was to have an on-the-spot assessment of the status of implementation of the reform initiatives encapsulated in the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025.

Yemi-Esan reiterated the need to take good care of Civil Servants, insisting that “when they are well taken care of, the Service reaps the result of their increased productivity.”

Earlier in her Opening Remarks, the Permanent Secretary and Solicitor General of the Federation expressed gladness that her Ministry was the first to be visited for the FCSSIP25 implementation status’ review exercise.

According to her, FCSSIP25 is an excellent reform programme, which provides a roadmap that drives change and improvement in service delivery.

Jedy-Agba assured of the Ministry’s readiness and commitment towards implementing the reform agenda for informed decision-making and repositioning the Service for increased productivity.

She presented the Ministry’s scorecard on the implementation of FCSSIP25, touching on virtually all the pillars namely, capability building and talent management, Performance Management System, IPPIS – Human Resource, Innovation, Digitalisation of Content Services and Enhance Value Proposition for Civil Servants.
