challenging and fulfilling path where your influence and impact will shape the future of
our Civil Service.
“In the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025, also
known as FCSSIP 25, we have a roadmap to reposition the Civil Service into a world-class institution that drives sustainable national development.

document; it is a vision of a modern, efficient, and effective Civil Service that meets the needs of the Nigerian people.
“As Directors, you are at the forefront of this transformative agenda. I urge you to embrace the reforms embedded in FCSSIP 25 with utmost commitment and enthusiasm.

Your role is pivotal in cascading these reforms down the line, ensuring that every member of your team understands and aligns with this vision.”

setting a standard, and being the example you wish to see in your team.
“You must foster an environment of collaboration, inclusivity, and continuous learning.
“Your teams look to you not only for guidance but also for motivation and mentorship.
“The future of the Federal Civil Service depends on our ability to cultivate a culture where innovation thrives, where accountability is non-negotiable, and where excellence is the norm.
