Olumuyiwa Abel, has underscored the strategic role of the Federal Civil Service as a catalyst for Nigeria’s Olawale Ajimotokan in Abuja Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mr.
Abel made the assertion at the 2026 Council of Retired Federal Permanent Secretaries (CORFEPS) Week Colloquium and the unveiling of the CORFEPS Journal on Public Policy and Governance, held at the Rotunda, Tafawa Balewa House, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja.
Abel maintained that achieving the ambitious economic target would require a capable, innovative, productive, and results-driven civil service capable of translating government policies into measurable outcomes, improved service delivery, and sustainable national development.
He stated that prevailing economic uncertainties, fiscal pressures, and technological disruptions had made institutional efficiency, professional competence and effective policy implementation more critical to national development. According to him, the success of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda depended not only on the formulation of sound policies but also on the ability of the civil service to provide objective policy advice, implement government decisions efficiently, and remain accountable to citizens. He explained that the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2026-2030 (FCSSIP30) would build on the achievements of the preceding FCSSIP25, with renewed emphasis on digital transformation, simplified administrative processes, and improved performance management. Abel, however, emphasised that delivering on the objectives of FCSSIP30 would require a fundamental shift in the mind-set, work ethics, and institutional culture of public servants.
