By Okon Okon
The Federal Government has charged newly appointed Permanent Secretaries and the Accountant-General of the Federation to demonstrate unwavering commitment to integrity, professionalism and service excellence.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Mrs Didi Walson-Jack, made the call during the induction ceremony for the officials in Abuja.
She congratulated the inductees, describing their appointments as recognition of their years of dedication and notable contributions to the Nigerian Civil Service.
“This gathering represents the renewal of our collective commitment to service, responsibility, and national development.
“You now occupy strategic positions at the apex of the federal bureaucracy. As such, your actions must reflect the highest standards of diligence and ethical conduct, “she said.
The head of service emphasised the pivotal role Permanent Secretaries and the Accountant-General play in policy implementation, service delivery, and administrative stewardship.
Highlighting the 2025 theme of the Civil Service, ‘FCSSIP 25: Final Sprint – Delivering Results’, she urged the inductees to align their efforts with the goals of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (2021–2025).
“2025 is our ‘Year of Accomplishment.’ It is imperative that we implement the strategy fully and deliver tangible, transformative results,” she added.
Walson-Jack said that the three-day induction programme was carefully curated to equip the appointees for excellence in their roles.
She urged the inductees to take full advantage of the lectures and engage actively with resource persons.
Beyond technical knowledge, she advised the new officials to foster open communication, teamwork, and mutual respect within their ministries, departments, and agencies.
“Let this induction be an opportunity to build strong working relationships and recommit yourselves to innovation, ethical governance and service excellence,” she said.
Walson-Jack reaffirmed the government’s confidence in the inductees’ capacity to deliver on their mandates, urging them to lead with integrity and purpose.
Also, Mrs Fatima Mahmood, Permanent Secretary, Career Management, Office of the HCSF, said the programme marked a significant milestone for the inductees especially as they assumed offices during a critical phase of reforms anchored on the FCSSIP 25.
“It is a platform for reflection, engagement, and alignment with the tools and values needed to drive effective governance in alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu,” she said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
