Dr. Yemi-Esan noted: “Recent global events such as the Covid – 19 pandemic, the regional war in Ukraine with its disruptive effect on supply chains, and the devastations caused by climate change has made it more urgent for government, and particularly the Civil Service, to think out-of-the-box and embrace the culture of innovation along with the adoption of advanced technologies”.
