Walson-Jack re-introduces civil service anthem for workers

The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, has reintroduced the civil service anthem to encourage civil servants and drive reforms within the Federal Civil Service.

The anthem, initially introduced in 2018, aims to inspire civil servants to deliver on the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

Walson-Jack stressed the importance of creativity and innovation in accelerating the implementation of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025.

The anthem is expected to be sung by all civil and public servants and will serve as a reminder of the values of efficiency, productivity, incorruptibility, and citizen-centeredness

Speaking at a meeting with media executives in Abuja, Walson-Jack said: “You will recall that the office has the federal civil service strategy and implementation 2021-2025 and that is the plan that we are still driving. However, we have resolved to bring on board creativity and innovation to accelerate that plan.

“The six pillars which represent the ongoing reforms require adequate coverage so that the implementation can be fast-tracked so that the federal civil service delivers on the Renewed Hope Agenda.

“I want to use this opportunity to appreciate President Bola Tinubu for the support, especially regarding the ongoing reform. We have quite a few things we are working on, but I must say what we are actually looking forward to is our 100 days in office.

“The civil service anthem has been reintroduced to drive the reform. It is expected that the anthem will be sung by all civil and public servants and indeed Nigerians. And it will be an anthem that will encourage every public servant to imbibe the lyrics of the anthem, which is just saying to us that we must be efficient, productive, incorruptible, and citizen-centred.”
