The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has inaugurated the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) to improve service delivery in line with the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2025 (FCSSIP 2025).
While inaugurating the system on Wednesday in Abuja, the SGF underscored the importance of the PMS in promoting effective service delivery in the Civil Service.
‘’PMS is a system that will ensure that Civil Servants understand their roles and perform effectively and maximally within clearly defined measurable metrics that will lead them to achieving set targets and goals,” Akume said in a statement on Wednesday night by Segun Imohiosen,
Director, Information and Public Relations in his office.
He also said that PMS is designed to enhance transparency and accountability in the service by ensuring that everyone is responsible for delivering on their assigned tasks by setting clear expectations and measuring performance against well-defined key performance indicators (KPIs).
Speaking on behalf of the permanent secretaries, the Permanent Secretary General Services Office, Dr. Nnamdi Maurice Mbaeri thanked the SGF for the support rendered toward the success of the PMS initiative, which has culminated in its formal inauguration.
He also thanked the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation for driving the PMS initiative in the Federal Civil Service and assured of the unwavering commitment of the OSGF toward ensuring its full implementation.
Speaking earlier, the Director of Human Resources in the OSGF, Anthony Obioha said that the inauguration of the PMS is a call to action for every department, unit, and the staff to take ownership of the PMS and to ensure its full implementation.
He said that the PMS will entrench a culture where performance is tracked, feedback is timely, development is continuous, and excellence is recognized and rewarded.
Highlights of the inauguration included the signing of a performance bond by the five permanent secretaries in the OSGF with the SGF, who will in return cascade it down to the Directors in their respective departments for compliance.
