Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has charged civil servants to align themselves with the new philosophy of the civil service rules, which he said have been fashioned to produce the best out Nigeria’s official workforce.
Adelabu made the call in Abuja at the formal inaugural ceremony of the ministry’s Performance Management System (PMS) as directed by the federal government.
Adebayo, represented by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mamman Mahmuda, in his speech pointed out that civil servants have the duty and responsibility of ensuring that government policies and programmes are faithfully and effectively implemented.
“This programme came into existence some few years back and it is designed to ensure that we meet certain requirements in the performance and discharge of our duties as civil servants.
“The Head of Service of the Federation must be commended in this endeavour and we must all submit ourselves to the letters of this schedule, designed to get the best out of us in the discharge of our services to our father land,” he said.The permanent secretary, in his own remarks, noted that the PMS was officially designed to provide a working schedule, setting targets, providing ongoing support for employees, and measuring expectations.
