Lagos State Government on Tuesday
announced it had abolished promotion of civil servants based on career
progression to ensure efficient service delivery.
Head of Service, Folasade
Adesoye, made the disclosure at a news conference in Lagos to announce
activities marking this year’s public service week.
Mrs Adesoye said: “To this
extent, all government officers now have clearly defined job schedules against
which their performances will be assessed.
“This approach is based on the
perception that governance must be open, timely, effective and efficient.”
She noted that the public service
week, which holds from June 19 to June 25, was introduced in 1994, following
the resolution of the Conference of African Ministers of Civil Service.
According to her, African
countries set aside June 23 as the Public Service Day to recognise the value of
service to humanity.
The HoS revealed that some of the
activities to celebrate the week would include a parade and exhibition by
ministries departments and agencies, and visit to charity homes, orphanages,
old peoples’ home and rehabilitation centres.
She said that games such as
‘Ayo’, Draughts, and Ludo would feature, besides singing and other forms of
entertainment such as mock news presentation, stand-up comedy, mimicking of
personalities and display of skills and dexterity in local drumming.
Mrs Adesoye said that the state
government had set up stands where medical screening for ailments such as
hypertension, cervical/breast and prostate cancers, diabetes and hepatitis
would be conducted.
“The screening will be performed
free; specialists will be on ground to provide advice on health-related
issues,” she added.
