“These reforms are aimed at repositioning the Civil Service into one of the best public institutions for better service delivery across all sectors globally.
“It is against the above premise that the Ministry undertook the orientation/sensitisation workshop on the FCSSIP 25 held in November, 2022.
“You will recall that in my address at the sensitisation workshop, I assured you all that these trainings will be continuous as I am committed to ensure that the ministry comes top as regards to compliance to these reforms in the civil service.
“Consequently, this one-day sensitisation workshop will focus on managing change and re-tooling of staff for better service delivery in the civil service,” Sani-Gwarzo said.
