Yemi-Esan Seeks NPC’s Synergy on Performance Management System Implementation

The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, has called for a lasting partnership with the National Productivity Centre (NPC) towards the implementation of the Performance Management System in order to promote employees’ accountability in the area of delivery of service.

She made the appeal yesterday, in Abuja, while receiving the National Productivity Order of Merit (NPOM) from the Director General, NPC, Dr. Raji Mustapha in recognition of her contributions to the growth and development of the Federal Civil Service.

She expressed happiness in becoming the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation at a time when the system was ready for change, stressing on the importance of working together with the NPC on the ongoing implementation of PMS, which she termed as a big task that would instill a culture of productivity and allow a worker to access his work based on given targets, away from the norm of workers getting promoted without working for it.

She expressed joy that the NPC was working towards linking productivity with wages, adding that it would help in measuring workers who really deserve salary increment so as to curb the continuous clamour for increment without commensurate work to show for it.  The HoS indicated the willingness of her office to assist in the needed areas.

Speaking earlier at the award ceremony, Mustapha praised efforts of the HoS in bringing creativity to bear on the Service.

He similarly hinted the HoS of the ongoing plan by the centre to come up with a Productivity Wage Link System, aimed at linking the productivity of workers with their wages, adding that it is at a completion stage and that a report would be sent to the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF), when completed.

While presenting the award to Dr. Yemi-Esan, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Ms. Kachallom Daju, lauded her for initiating laudable reforms in the Service.
