The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation will hold a national workshop titled “Rethinking Reforms: Why Many Reforms Fail in Nigeria and What We Can Do About It” on July 30, 2024.

The workshop will bring together key stakeholders to discuss critical issues hindering the success of public sector reforms in Nigeria. While Nigeria’s public service has a commendable history of guiding the nation through challenging times, recent decades have witnessed a decline in its effectiveness due to factors such as political interference, a lack of meritocracy, and limited citizen participation.

To understand the root causes of these challenges and chart a path forward, the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation commissioned an in-depth research study on public sector reforms.

The workshop will serve as a platform to unveil the initial findings of the research and engage in collaborative discussions with key stakeholders.

“Our mission at the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation is to facilitate the reform of the Nigerian public service so that it reaches its potential as a powerful agent for positive change,” said, Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, Executive Vice Chair at the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation.

“This workshop provides a platform to identify the underlying causes of past public sector reform failures and develop a roadmap for achieving lasting progress in the future.”
