FG, Foundation pledge to sustain N500,000 annual award to hard working public officers
The Federal Government in collaboration with AIG Imoukhuede Foundation reiterated commitment to give award of N500,000 annually each to selected hard working public officers in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HOCSF), made the pledge at a Workshop on the Rewards and Recognition Selection System, organised by the office of the HOCSF on Thursday in Abuja.
The workshop was organised for Directors of Human Resources Management, Deputy Directors in charge of Staff Welfare in MDAs and other facilitators.
The theme of the workshop is, ‘Fostering the Culture of Transparency in the Rewards and Recognition System in the Civil Service’.
Represented by Mr Mahmud Kambari, Permanent Secretary, Service Welfare, office of the HOCSF, Yemi-Esan used the occasion to appreciate the private sectors that joined hands together with her office to raise the hope of civil servants in the course of their services to the nation.
“The OHCSF is committed to upholding the highest standards in implementing the Scheme with an overall objective of recognising and rewarding excellence, innovation, and dedication in the Civil Service.
“At this juncture, I must recognise the unflinching support and partnership of some Private Sector Organisations such as AIG Imoukhuede Foundation, which established an endowment fund of Five Hundred Thousand naira (N500, 000.00) each for awardees annually.
“And the Consortium of Insurance Companies that donated a brand new GAC Car to the Star awardee at the 2022 Civil Service Week Awards ceremony. “
She advised the attendees at the workshop to imbibe the culture of fairness and transparency in the selection process which according to her, is critical for ensuring successful implementation of the ‘Rewarding and Recognition System (RRS)’.
HOS said the decision to organise such a workshop was to strengthen the implementation of the scheme in the Federal Civil Service for transparency, merit and uniformity in the selection process.
“The programme so far has been impressive, however, there is need to improve the selection process to ensure standardisation, hence, the reason for this workshop, ” she explained.
Contributing, Khadijat Akewushola, Programme Associate, who represented AIG Imoukhuede Foundation, expressed the foundation’s readiness to continue in its partnership with the office of the HOCSF to encourage effective service and the standardisation of the entire public service.
“The foundation is always in support of the office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation in the implementation of the Federal Civil Service Strategy Implementation Plan (FCSSIP 2021-2025) and as a result we provide support on most of the pillars of the FCSSIP. “
Also, Mr Jacob Haastrup, who presented a paper on ‘Effective Coaching/Mentorship Panacea for Sustainable Transformation of the Public Service’, lauded Yemi-Esan for introducing innovative programmes to elevate the nation’s public service.
According to Haastrup, the workshop focusses on ways to motivate and recognize civil servants who are outstanding and productive in their services.
It is recalled that the office of the office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, AIG Imoukhuede Foundation, Consortium of Insurance Companies, joined hands to award 43 outstanding workers with N500,000 each and the award of a brand new car to mark the World Civil Service Week in 2022.

Joel Ajayi
President Bola Tinubu has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, political leaders and their supporters in Rivers State to exercise restraint and uphold the rule of law.
In response to recent tensions following last Saturday’s local government council election, the President expressed deep concern over reports of arson and explosions in the state.
He urged all political actors to de-escalate the situation and discourage their supporters from engaging in violence or destructive actions.
President Tinubu directed the police to restore and maintain peace, law, and order immediately.
While instructing law enforcement agencies to bring the situation under control, he emphasised the need to ensure the security of public institutions.
President Tinubu said government facilities built with public funds must be safeguarded from vandalism.
He stressed that self-help has no place in a democratic system, especially after 25 years of continuous democracy.
According to President Tinubu, the judiciary can settle all political disputes, and the outcome of this election should be no exception.
