Minister of Labour and Productivity Emeka Wogu, who launched the policy, stated that it was critical to the economic development of the country.
Wogu said, “the National Policy on Productivity is, therefore, our concerted response to the challenges of our under-development due to the nation’s low level of productivity. The low level productivity observed in our services and social sectors has highlighted the need to develop the policy on productivity.”
He said the policy was a strategic document that established the vision, mission, goals, objectives, guidelines and the modus operandi for the mobilisations, participation and promotion of productivity culture among the citizenry.
Also speaking, Head of Federal Civil Service of the Federation Bukar Goni Aji who chaired the occasion said his office would make adequate copies of the document available to Nigerians.
Earlier, the Director-General of the National Productivity Centre Mr Paul Bdliya, said that it is the level of productivity that makes the difference between the relative poverty of the developing countries and the national affluence of the developed and industrialised nations, stressing that to survive economically, nations need to imbibe a culture of productivity.
