President Bola Tinubu has given marching orders to senior civil servants for the accelerated payment of welfare packages to workers nationwide.
He warned that the bureaucracies undermining the expeditious payment of benefits would not be tolerated and directed that a monthly briefing by the Head of Service and submission of key performance indicator reports should be made to his office for review.
This also includes quarterly interactive meetings between the president and the body of permanent secretaries.
“Before the next meeting, I want to see progress in the civil service… Why are we slowing that down? It is not just shameful. It is unacceptable,” Tinubu said when he met the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, the Body of Permanent Secretaries, and some Directors-General of agencies at the State House, Abuja, on Thursday.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed details of Thursday’s meeting in a statement titled, ‘President Tinubu directs expeditious processing of welfare benefits, demands monthly KPI reports.’
The President said policies impacting the welfare of the people and the economy must be treated with urgency, diligence, and a strong sense of duty.
He asked them to rededicate themselves to their duties and work towards improving the lives of Nigerians by acting with dispatch on matters that border on the welfare of citizens.
