President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Abuja said the public service remained the engine room of government, and should attract the “best and brightest” that would fuel policies with fresh ideas, while assuring that the Orosanye White Paper Report would be implemented after review.
“I have directed that the Orosanye White Paper Report be subjected to immediate review to enable government take the most appropriate decision on its general recommendation,” the president in a statement by his media aide, Femi Adesina told the Central Working Committee of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) at the State House.
“I am aware that the review is about to be completed. While some may complain about the length of time it has taken thus far, the outcome of the various review teams would lead to some fundamental changes in the structure of our civil service and as such, it must be subjected to rigorous review and scrutiny before presentation and implementation,’’ he added.
The president said the Secretary to the Government of the Federation would submit the harmonised white paper once it has been concluded.
He assured that the administration remained focused on strengthening the service and ensuring it helps the government fulfill its objectives.
