The Head of Civil Service of the Federation was impressed at how Singapore has leveraged on technology and ICT to transform its Public /Civil Service to global excellence. She revealed some of the measures the Nigerian government is taking to improve the service. The measures include creation of work improvement units in Ministries. She said “the units created in Ministries will comprise of groups of Civil Servants from bottom –up who will be allowed self-expression on how to improve their work operations.” She assured that Civil Servants will be given the enabling environment to develop innovative ideas that will transform the Service to meet with global trends.

The Head of Civil Service of the Federation and her team also visited the Institute of Technical Education to see how the Singaporean Government is focusing on technology and development; while capturing their youth at a very early stage in the educational curriculum.

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation who expressed admiration for the performance ranking system of Singapore appealed to the various unions in the Public /Civil Service to focus less on agitation for salary increase but rather be more definitive and proactive on how to improve the Service.

The general consensus from the people in all the places visited is that Nigerians should never stop learning. They should always be eager for innovation and improvement. Nigerians must learn to challenge the way they think for innovation and transformation to be possible.

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation observed with interest that despite the global advancement of Singapore, their Public Service still sees itself as a work in progress. They still consider that there must be continuous improvement and transformation in their work and national ethics.
