New recruits to the Nigerian Public Service will need to be experienced or qualified in ICT from now on according to the Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission, Ambassador Ahmed Al-Gazali.
Ambassador Ahmed Al-Gazali said the Commission proposed to establish an IT faculty at the Civil Service Training Institute in Abuja modelled on the lines of facilities in China, India, South Korea, South Africa and Ghana to ensure this happened.
He said to comply with the Head of Service’s Circular of 17 March, the Commission had already begun an e-learning scheme.
“It is being run in collaboration with Microsoft, NIIT and Oracle 290 and staff from G3 to G10 will be passing out from the course on Basic Intermediate and Advanced Computer for Offices,” Ambassador Al-Gazali said.
Commenting on the issue of a promotion round for the directorate cadre, Mr Al-Gazali said that President Goodluck Jonathan had ruled that there should be a review of the annual performance evaluation report form and the process of the adoption and or adaptation of the performance contract.
“This will mean we have to host an interactive forum of all stakeholders in public and private sectors with a view to positioning the Civil Service towards attaining the Vision 20:2020 targets in which we hope to bring it to world class standards,” Mr Al-Gazali said.
Head of Service, Professor Oladapo Afolabi, described Ambassador Al-Gazali as a father and urged the continued co-operation of the Commission and Public Servants to achieve the set objectives.
