The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, a leading organization committed to enhancing public service delivery in Nigeria, has concluded a series of tailored capacity-building programmes for staff of the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF).
The training was designed to improve performance across core departments and support the implementation of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021–2025 (FCSSIP25).
Focusing on the Infrastructure Management and Information & Public Relations Departments—both critical to the delivery of government priorities—the Foundation provided practical, skill-focused training aimed at addressing identified competency gaps and strengthening the technical capacity of public servants.
Staff of the Infrastructure Management Department were trained in project planning, budget tracking, monitoring and evaluation, digital workspace management, and effective implementation of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
Meanwhile, officers in the Information and Public Relations Department received in-depth training in media engagement, content creation, strategic communication planning, and digital outreach—skills essential for managing the public image of the Civil Service and fostering real-time engagement with citizens.
Speaking on the significance of the interventions, Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, Executive Vice Chair of the Foundation, said:
“Our goal is to support the development of a world-class Civil Service that delivers results for citizens. These trainings ensure that civil servants are equipped with the skills and mindset needed to drive reforms and improve public service delivery.”
Arch. Joy Baderin, Director of the Infrastructure Management Department at the OHCSF, expressed appreciation, stating:
“The Foundation’s partnership and technical support are transformational. We expect these trainings to significantly enhance staff performance, departmental efficiency, and, ultimately, service delivery to Nigerians.”
Participants from both departments praised the practical relevance of the training and expressed their commitment to applying their newly acquired skills to improve departmental efficiency and effectiveness.
These capacity-building initiatives reflect the Foundation’s broader mission to develop a critical mass of competent public sector leaders and professionals capable of driving meaningful reform and delivering better outcomes for citizens.
