The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, has unveiled an online portal to enhance the accessibility of government circulars for civil servants.
Speaking at the launch event in Abuja on Wednesday, Walson-Jack described circulars as essential tools for governance and administration within the civil service.
She stated, “Circulars provide direction, clarify policies, and ensure that decisions are communicated consistently across the Service. However, a recurring challenge has been the accessibility and retention of these critical documents, especially as time passes and administrations change. This has, at times, hindered institutional memory and disrupted seamless service delivery.”
Walson-Jack stressed that the new compendium of circulars would improve transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness in the civil service.
“This online compendium of Civil and Public Service Circulars will significantly enhance the civil service’s efficiency, transparency, and effectiveness, directly supporting our goals of a more responsive Service. The compendium will improve access and reduce administrative bottlenecks, advancing the overarching goals of efficiency, accountability, and improved service delivery,” she explained.
She further noted that the initiative reflects a commitment to modernising governance.
