“Advanced Seminar on Public Service Reform.”
As I promised, this intervention is on the expediency of looking at how the Oronsaye Report can be reset to restructure the public service that is not in a position to serve public interest at this time. So, this second part is also about the need to warn the president’s men that mistakes of the past should be avoided.
So, we are on the march again with Oronsaye Report, which also contains so many issues to be reformed for the public service to be compact and less draining on the economy. The impression being created by the political officers who disclosed this is that the public service comprising the mainstream civil service, extra-ministerial departments and agencies we have chosen to call ‘parastatals’ is the target.
I began to draw attention to this anomaly in 2016 even in the first Inside Stuff article. I had then drawn attention to the fact that the President Buhari’s first SGF, Babachir David Lawal was a neophyte in public service with the first Chief of Staff who also was largely a private sector operative.
2. But since 2004, I doubt if there has ever been any open deliberate policy on recruitment into the federal civil service. Instead there has been a ban on recruitment citing funding over these years. Please check the Federal Civil Service Commission to note when a deliberate policy to hire happened. It is true that some quiet, discretionary recruitments have been made but this is limited, not service-wide.
6. The collapse of training culture and training institutions is a major problem: poor facilities; inadequate skilled manpower, poor remuneration, ethical issues, etc
