The Federal Government on Thursday ordered federal ministries, departments, agencies, and parastatals, among others, to commence the implementation of the new public service rules with immediate effect.
The Public Service Rules contain guidelines on the code and conduct of civil servants, and disciplinary measures among others.
Speaking at the State House on Thursday during the unveiling of the newly-revised PSR, the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Folashade Yemi-Esan, said, “The newly-revised Public Service Rules were revised before the end of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration and in line with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu, we are launching it and we expect that MDAs will begin the implementation.”
Speaking on the digitalisation agenda of the civil service, Yemi-Esan said extensive work was carried out to put the required mechanisms in place for a smooth transition from physical handling of tasks to electronic means.
