Awww, i sort of feel sorry for Nigeran cicil servants because this are not the best of times for them. Right now both left,front and centre, they are under a whole lot of heat but hey, i guess it's their fault, abi? In a statement accorded to Vice President Osinbanjo who was representing President Buhari on Monday in Abuja at the inauguration of capacity building programmes, tagged “Structured Mandatory Assessment-based Training Programme and Leadership Enhancement and Development Programme”, for public servants. at the President Muhammadu Buhari has said that Nigeria’s civil service has a reputation for inefficiency, low productivity and corruption.
Buhari, who was represented by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, stated this
The President said that Nigeria’s civil service was declining due to its inability to articulate a vision and develop the required capacity to implement such vision.
Buhari said, “Many, who mourn the decline of the civil service today from its days as ‘primus inter pares’ in the Commonwealth to one which has earned a reputation for inefficiency, low productivity, corruption and insensitivity to the needs of the public, fall into the error of thinking that the problem is a poverty of ideas and capacity on the part of the civil service; whereas, it is the inability to clearly articulate a vision, ensure that the service develops the required capacity to articulate and implement the various components of the vision.
“The citizen, regardless of station in life, must be respected by the governing authorities and treated with dignity.
“Flowing from these is the imperative that our society must be governed by the rule of law, administered by a trustworthy, fearless, impartial and efficient judiciary”.
