President Bola Tinubu says the Federal Government is
receiving support and commendations from the global communities over the
removal of fuel subsidy and the foreign exchange regime policies, saying they
are yielding positive results.
Tinubu stated this at a Gala/Award Night on Saturday,
organised by the office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HOCSF),
to recognise and honour outstanding civil servants to mark the 2023 Civil
Service Week.
Represented by the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Sen. George Akume, President Tinubu appreciated civil servants for
their numerous contributions to the economic development of the country.
The president, who accepted the fact that the policies had
in one way or the other affected the masses, said the government was working on
measures to cushion the effects.
“We shall without delay cushion the pains being experienced
by our people as a result of these measures through a number of well targeted
interventions aimed at giving adequate relief and succour to a great number of
our long- suffering citizens,” he said.
He, however, pledged to give more supports to the civil
service sector, being the custodian of public trust to consolidate on the gains
of the ongoing reforms in the sector.
Earlier, in her opening remarks, the HOCSF, Dr Folasade
Yemi-Esan, said every human being had an inherent desire to be appreciated or
acknowledged for their efforts, and so hard-working civil servants deserve
reward for their services to the nation.
According to Yemi-Esan, when an individual feels valued and
recognised for hard work, he or she is more likely to be committed and
enthusiastic next time around.
She used the occasion to present prizes namely, a brand new
2022 JAC JS4 Luxury Model SUV, a 2 Bedroom semi-detached bungalow; and a plot
of land to the top three outstanding civil servants.
The gesture, which is in collaboration with the
Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, also favoured 29 other outstanding civil servants
who went home with other awards while few got N500,000 each.
“The Star Prize of a Brand New 2022 JAC JS4 Luxury Model SUV
won by Mrs Juwon Olayiwola of the Federal Ministry of Education; a 2-Bedroom
Semi-Detached Bungalow was won by Mr. Nwachukwu of Service Welfare Office,
office of the HOCSF and the 3rd prize, a Plot of Land, was allocated to Mrs.
Chukweke Stella Oluchi, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation (OSGF).”
While urging heads of MDAs to reward outstanding workers,
the HOS said recognition/rewards could serve to inspire employees to go the
extra mile to innovate and achieve excellence in the course of discharging
their jobs.
“In this ever-evolving corporate world, fostering a positive
and motivating work environment has become crucial for the success of any
institution.”
Also, the Chairman, Federal Civil Service Commission, Dr
Tukur Ingawa, represented by Dr Simon Etim, a Commissioner in the Commission,
said rewarding a worker is critical innovative factor for motivation in
executing the needed jobs in any organisation.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the theme for
the service week is: ‘Digitalisation of work processes in the public service: A
gateway to efficient resources utilisation and national development’.
