Olawale Ajimotokan in Abuja

The federal government yesterday inducted 332 newly promoted directors in the federal civil service.

The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Esther Didi Walson-Jack, noted the directors were chosen because of their capabilities and potential to drive meaningful change.

She said they have the responsibility to create an environment where the core values of integrity, service, and excellence are upheld at all times.

The head of service equally noted the induction was taking place at a pivotal time when the federal civil service was undergoing transformation and in 2025 which marks the final year of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2025 (FCSSIP25).

“It is imperative that we collectively work towards achieving the full implementation of these transformative reforms. The progress made under FCSSIP25 has already set a strong foundation, but this final year presents an opportunity to consolidate gains and deliver results that will leave a lasting legacy,” she said.

The head of service added that the office had adopted a slogan for this year: “2025: Year of Accomplishments” to capture the collective resolve to make 2025 a year of exceptional achievements across the civil service.

She urged the inductees to internalize the mantra as a guiding principle in their work and to embody the core values of FCSSIP25: accountability, meritocracy, professionalism, loyalty, and efficiency.

“As newly promoted directors, your roles are critical in driving the reforms and ensuring that the civil service remains a model of professionalism, efficiency, and integrity.

“You are leaders now, and leadership comes with the responsibility to inspire, mentor, and deliver tangible results. Your actions will significantly impact the lives of millions of Nigerians who depend on the effectiveness of the Civil Service.

“It is imperative that you approach your responsibilities with a deep sense of duty, fairness, and professionalism,” Walson-Jack said.

The induction lecture was virtually delivered by the founder of Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, Agboje Aig-Imoukhuede.

 Aig-Imoukhuede listed some of the roles of directors to include influencing change during policy reform development, employee engagement, community engagement and communicating vision, among others.
