The Federal Government has said that it is committed to enforcing a Performance Management System (PMS) that will assess civil servants based on daily output and measurable results.

The Permanent Secretary, General Services Office (GSO) in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), Dr. Maurice Nnamdi Mbaeri, said this Thursday in Abuja during a three-day workshop on “Administrative Excellence Through Ethics, Discretion and Result-Driven Service”.

Mbaeri said the era of lax office routines is over, stressing that performance-based evaluations will now guide promotions, rewards, and recognitions in line with the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (FCSSIP 2021–2025).

“Times are gone when people could come to the office and waste hours without showing any level of productivity.

“This new system will track officers daily and reward high performers accordingly,” he said.

Mbaeri said that the training was not only designed to sharpen administrative skills but also to align officers with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, which emphasizes efficiency, ethics, and accountability in public service.

Highlighting the tangible outcomes of the ongoing reforms, Mbaeri said that civil servants who undergo the training will be considered for higher responsibilities and leadership roles.

He said, “This workshop is part of our strategic push to build a smarter, more responsive civil service. Those who excel will be recognised—through promotion, material rewards, or official commendation. This is clearly embedded in the pillars of the FCSSIP.”

Also speaking at the event, the Principal Consultant and Managing Director of XEM Group, Dr. Eugenia Ndukwe, said that the importance of the workshop in embedding ethical leadership and service excellence is apt.

“Our goal is to empower civil servants with the tools, knowledge, and ethical foundation to deliver high-impact service.

“We’ve carefully designed this training to help them navigate modern administrative challenges with professionalism and purpose,” she said.
