The HCSF also urged the officers to support management programmes and initiatives by placing the collective interest of the Service above personal interests, while discharging their duties with diligence, responsibility, professionalism and a strong sense of commitment.
Abel commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the Administration’s sustained and expanding commitment to the welfare of Civil Servants under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He noted that the broader range of welfare interventions being introduced by the present Administration, including the introduction of the exit benefit and the Renewed Hope Mass Transit Schemes, underscores Government’s recognition of the critical role of Civil Servants in national development.

She also commended the Permanent Secretary, Common Services Office, and all participating officers for their openness, contributions and commitment to the success of the engagement.
The interactive session provided an opportunity for junior officers to openly share their concerns, observations and suggestions on issues relating to welfare, workplace experience, career progression and professional development.
The engagement is part of the broader efforts of the OHCSF to foster a Federal Civil Service that is efficient, productive, professional, people-centred and responsive, while creating an enabling environment in which every officer is valued and empowered to contribute meaningfully to national development.
