Nigeria, UK To Collaborate On Civil Service Reforms

Heads of Civil Service in Nigeria and the United Kingdom (UK) have agreed to strengthen ties that would advance civil service reforms in Nigeria.

A statement signed by the head, information and public relations of the Office of Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Eno Olotu, said this was the outcome of a meeting between Nigeria’s Head of Service, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack and the UK Cabinet Secretary and Head of Service, Rt. Hon. Simon Case, in London.

According to the statement, the dialogue focused on knowledge sharing and best practices to support Nigeria’s ongoing reform initiatives under the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (FCSSIP) 2021-2025.

“Key discussions focused on capability building, knowledge management, and enhancing Nigeria’s Civil Service Week activities by drawing inspiration from the UK’s annual “Civil Service Live” conference model.

“Both parties agreed to explore exchange programmes and study tours to facilitate mutual learning, with an emphasis on knowledge sharing. The Head of the UK Civil Service committed to sharing insights on Civil Service development while recognizing the value of learning from Nigeria’s experiences.
