The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation and Access Bank Plc have partnered on workspace management in Nigeria’s civil service.
The foundation, with support from Access Bank Plc, has donated 11 laptops to the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) to bolster its Enterprise Workspace Management Solutions (E-WMS) Project.
The E-WMS utilises automation to optimise office space allocations within Federal Secretariat Complexes, enabling the OHCSF to monitor office spaces, occupants, and resources more efficiently. The success of the E-WMS project represents a significant stride towards enhancing operational efficiency within the Nigeria Civil Service by strengthening team collaboration and cohesion and allowing for improved monitoring of employee attendance and performance.
During the official presentation ceremony, which took place on Ms Chioma Njoku, director of Programmes of the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation commended the innovative solution to optimising workspace management and reiterated the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to supporting reform initiatives across the public sector.
Accepting the laptops on behalf of the Head of Service of the Federation, the permanent secretary, Special Duties Office, Engr Faruk Yusuf Yabo, expressed his gratitude to the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation and Access Bank Plc, for their support, stating that, the private-public sector collaboration had been instrumental in ensuring the E-WMS project’s success.
This project represents part of the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation’s partnership with the Office of the Head of the Civil Service to support reform initiatives aimed at transforming the public sector.
Other projects currently being supported by the Foundation include the implementation of an Enterprise Content Management Solution to digitalise the work of the Civil Service, the development of an e-learning platform to facilitate training across the service, the introduction of a robust performance management system to boost staff performance, among others.
