Tinubu orders audit to reform civil service

President Bola Tinubu has ordered a full personnel audit and skills gap analysis across the Federal Civil Service to improve capacity and overall performance.

Tinubu gave the directive during the maiden edition of the 2025 International Civil Service Week in Abuja on Thursday, June 26, 2025.

The president said it was essential to assign competent individuals to appropriate roles for an efficient and effective public service.

He said: “We can only guarantee a high-performance culture by placing the right people in the right positions.

“To that end, I have authorised a full personnel audit and skills gap analysis across the Federal Civil Service to build capacity.”

Tinubu urged stakeholders to complete the exercise promptly to enable reforms and create a more agile, skilled, and responsive civil service.

Tinubu described the civil service as “the engine room” for delivering public goods and effective governance across Nigeria.

He, therefore, commended the Head of Civil Service, Didi Walson-Jack, for leading reforms in digitalisation and staff development.

Speaking, Walson-Jack said the conference was self-funded through strategic partnerships and creativity.

“If Nigeria must lead Africa, our civil service must lead first,” she stated.
