Civil Service Head Launches Online Portal to Enhance Access to Government Circulars
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, has launched an online portal aimed at improving the accessibility of government circulars for civil servants. The initiative was unveiled during a ceremony in Abuja on Wednesday, with Walson-Jack highlighting the critical role of circulars in the governance and administration of the civil service.
Speaking at the event, Walson-Jack explained that circulars are essential tools for providing direction, clarifying policies, and ensuring consistent communication across the civil service. However, she acknowledged that a major challenge has been the accessibility and retention of these important documents, particularly as administrations change over time. This issue has, at times, hindered institutional memory and disrupted the seamless delivery of services.
The newly launched online compendium of civil and public service circulars aims to address these challenges by enhancing transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness within the civil service. Walson-Jack emphasized that the portal would streamline access to circulars, reduce administrative bottlenecks, and contribute to improved service delivery. She further stated that the initiative aligns with the goal of creating a more responsive and accountable civil service.
“This compendium is not just a technological upgrade; it is a commitment to modernizing governance,” Walson-Jack said. “It demonstrates our dedication to innovation, excellence, and transparency in public administration, and underscores our resolve to lead with integrity and efficiency.”
The launch of the online portal reflects the ongoing efforts to modernize the Nigerian civil service, with a focus on improving governance and ensuring that civil servants have quick and easy access to essential information for effective service delivery.
