The Head of the Civil Sector of the Federation (HoCSF), Dr Folashade Yemi-Esan, made this announcement yesterday in Abuja during stakeholders meeting on establishing a modern Performance Management System (PMS) in the federal public service.
She explained that an automated process will track development from start to finish.
Dr Yemi-Esan lamented the civil service's reputation as "redundant, ineffective, inefficient, and not meeting its standards" and argued that a new narrative was necessary to make things right.
She claimed that the most recent Executive Order 012, signed by President Muhammadu Buhari in October, would ultimately advance the institutionalisation of PMS.
She emphasised that Kenya had made more significant advancements than Nigeria, which had begun institutionalisation concurrently.
According to Yemi-Esan, “the PMS is coming to replace the annual performance evaluation system,” and she has given the responsibility of driving the process to the permanent secretaries.
“This ensures that employee performance is linked to institutional goals and objectives.
“We must not fail to understand that the delivery of government’s policies is critically dependent on employees delivering on their various objectives.”
