The Federal government has charged civil servants across the country to bring to bear new culture, innovations as well as develop appropriate tools to enable them cope with emerging challenges.

“To attain a world class status, the civil service has to rediscover itself and enthrone the culture of innovation both in imagination and routine work as well as develop appropriate tools for the anticipated change and emerging challenges’’

Chairman Technical Session of the National council on Establishment and Permanent Secretary, Service Policy and Strategy Office in the Office of the Head of the Civil service of the Federation, Hajia Nuratu Batagarawa has said.

Speaking at the 39th meeting of the Office of the National council on establishment holding in Minna, Niger State, Batagarawa said that the civil servant must not only be a change agent, but must also be able to institutionalise change in modern governance and societal development.

“It must see itself as a tool for the promotion of growth, peace, stability, development, and democracy. It must encompass and exhibit values that inspire others, institutions and individuals to be creative, innovative, patriotic and productive. The civil service must move with contemporary times, especially in terms of technology, information, service delivery, and ideas or it would become irrelevant.” .

Earlier, the Niger State Head of Service, Alhaji Muhammad Laude Lapai, who declared open the Session, urged participants to shun all forms of bitterness, parochialism or malice in their recommendations to the National Council, as it seeks to address the numerous challenges confronting the civil service in the country today.
