Head of Service re-introduces civil service anthem for workers
The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack has re-introduced the civil service anthem for workers in the Federal Civil Service.
According to Walson-Jack, the anthem aims to encourage civil servants and drive reforms in the service.
PUNCH Online reports that the anthem was initially introduced in 2018.
Speaking at a meeting with media executives in Abuja according to a transcript released on Tuesday, the Head of Service stressed the need for the civil service to deliver on the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
“You will recall that the office has the federal civil service strategy and implementation 2021-2025 and that is the plan that we are still driving. However, we have resolved to bring on board creativity and innovation to accelerate that plan.
“The six pillars which represent the ongoing reforms require adequate coverage so that the implementation can be fast tracked so that the federal civil service delivers on the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“I want to use this opportunity to appreciate President Bola Tinubu for the support especially as regards the ongoing reform. We have quite a few things we are working but I must say what we are actually looking forward to is our 100 days in office.
“The civil service anthem has been reintroduced to drive the reform. It is expected that the anthem will be sung by all civil and public servants and indeed Nigerians. And it will be an anthem that will encourage every public servant to imbibe the lyrics of the anthem which is just saying to us that we must be efficient, productive, incorruptible, and citizen-centered.”
