Head of service to restructure workforce

Amassive restructure of federal workforce will be conducted this year, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoCSF) Mrs Winifred OyoIta has said.

She said the move was part of measures to realize the vision of President Muhammadu Buhari’s change mantra.

Oyo-Ita made the disclosure yesterday in Abuja at the maiden operational media briefing and achievements of her office in 2017.

Some departments to be affected by the reforms include; the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF), National Agency for Great Green Wall (NAGGW), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Pharmacist Council of Nigeria (PCN), National Institute for Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), Optometrist and Dispensing Opticians Registration Board, Nigeria Institute of Soil Science and Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as agencies that would be restructured.

She said “One of the key programmes embarked upon by the OHCSF since my assumption is anchored on the Strategic Implementation Plan (2017-2020) put in place to reposition the Federal Civil Service. The Plan which has since been approved by the FEC, is in line with the Change Mantra of the President Muhammadu Buhari and is also aligned with the recently launched National Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).”
