The Nigerian government has recently promoted 323 deputy directors to substantive directors in different ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) of the civil service. This promotion was announced by Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), during a dinner held in Abuja.
The promotion means that these 323 officials will now have higher positions and more responsibilities within the government. They are expected to help make the civil service more efficient, productive, and accountable. The federal government is focused on improving how the civil service works to serve the people better.
Mrs. Walson-Jack talked about the ongoing changes in the civil service that are meant to make it work better. These changes are part of a plan called the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (FCSSIP) 2021-2025. The goal is to make the Nigerian civil service a top-performing institution that can help the country grow and develop.
The plan includes making sure the civil service is more responsive, transparent, and able to handle the country's challenges. The newly promoted directors will be key to making these changes happen.
Mrs. Walson-Jack also promised that her office would provide the new directors with all the training and support they need to succeed. She assured them that her door is always open if they need help.
