Ahead of 2022, BPSR Organizes ‘Strategic Retreat’ for Staff

The management of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, BPSR, yesterday, held the ‘2022 BPSR Staff Strategic Plan Retreat’.

The objective of the retreat was to find out what challenges staff had encountered while implementing their Work-Plan for 2021, in line with the Strategic Plan.

Director General, Dasuki Ibrahim Arabi, led the entire management staff of the Bureau to the retreat held at Nigerian Army Resource Centre, NARC, in Abuja, on Tuesday.

According to Arabi, the retreat will allow them to proffer solutions and recommendations in combating challenges they faced in the outgoing year, and prepare us for the year 2022.

He said: “It is my hope and expectation therefore, that at the end of the Retreat, staff of the Bureau would have been better informed, focused and more committed in the discharge of their official responsibilities.”

In an attempt by their Bureau to achieve its mandate and drive its vision, the BPSR helsman noted that, they developed the Strategic Plan 2021-2025 to set the direction and roadmap for BPSR staff, build their capacity, competencies and up-scale their skills to enable them drive the vision of the Bureau to achieve the desired outcomes.

“In view of the strategic position of the Bureau in the public space of governance, it developed Self-Assessment Tool and was approved by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation with the directive to deploy the Tool in all Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies and submit quarterly report on the exercise to the SGF for onward transmission to Federal Executive Council.

“The objective of the Tool is to assess all public institutions on their health status and provide recommendations for improved performance and service delivery to citizens.

“In the same vein, the Bureau developed a Score Card for ranking of Websites of MDAs of Government; organizes Lunch Time Reform Seminars to elucidate topical issues across public service; and engages civil society groups and Development Partners in an attempt to build public trust, transparency and accountability in governance,” Arabi.
