Walson-Jack Assumes Office as HOS
Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack has taken over the mantle of leadership as the Head of the Civil service of the Federation.
The new Head of Service, Mrs Didi Walson-Jack will now ensure that the Federal workforce diligently administers programmes for efficient service delivery. The Federal Civil Service has thrived under successive governments, implementing policies and programmes for Nigerians.
The outgoing Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, during her tenure invested efforts in programmes and projects aimed at enhancing efficiency, which included the digitisation project, the provision of houses under the federal integrated staff housing programme, FISH, and the promotion of the mentoring and leadership programme, LEADP, among others.
‘’Workflow processes are now transacted digitally; we want to stop all these leakages, so it’s a gradual process. One of the goals of LEADP is to identify, mentor, and strategically deploy five hundred civil service leaders service-wide by 2025. There is an ongoing plan to deliver another estate of a larger scale at Giwa, Abuja.’’ she stated.
‘’I am looking forward to building on the existing reforms in a way that will bring in innovation and creativity so that the civil service bureaucracy can be more effective and efficient to deliver on the renewed hope agenda.’’
Mrs Didi Walson-Jack was appointed a Permanent Secretary in 2017 and served in several MDAs, including the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Power, Water Resources, and Education.
