The Federal Government on Wednesday urged its workers to study and comply with the revised Public Service Rules (PSR).
Speaking at a one-day sensitisation workshop in Abuja, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HOCSF) said the new PSR would guide workers on the principles of transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the discharge of their duties.
The workshop was organised by Commission for stakeholders, directors, deputy directors from core Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
Represented by Dr Deborah Odoh, Permanent Secretary Service Policies and Strategies in her office, Yemi-Esan explained that the forum was the first in a series of sensitisation workshops, being planned since the unveiling of the revised PSR.
“As you are aware, the revised Public Service Rules which was unveiled on July 27, 2023, serves as the backbone of our administrative framework, guiding the conduct and responsibilities of those entrusted with serving the public.
“These rules are not merely a set of regulations, but a commitment to uphold the principles of transparency, accountability, and efficiency in all our endeavours,’’ she said.
She said the idea to hold a service-wide workshop on the revised PSR was conceived immediately after the approval of the 2021 PSR by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Sept 27, 2021.
“The planning of the workshop had commenced under the supervision of my predecessors but has now come to fruition today.
“This is the first in a series of sensitisation workshops that is being planned and the next phase of the sensitisation will include non-core MDAs,’’ she said.
According to her, the revised PSR will provide the framework through which the expected duty is fulfilled, ensuring that decisions are made with integrity and fairness.
She added that the revised PSR would foster a culture of professionalism and excellence within the public institutions.
